This is another independent piece. I first took strips of found papers and arranged them in a frame-like pattern. I added gesso and paint on top of this. I made the flowers myself using newspaper, paint, and wire. I also added encaustic wax and string as well as bubble wrap to complete this piece. I like how it turned out, but if I could change one thing I would change the color scheme.

This was my erasure project based on a still life. It was done in charcoal. The process was to draw an object moving and erase the object as it progressed. I thought I did well on this project. I think the apple looks the most realistic. It was a challenge to draw the pearls especially three times.
