IF = Idle or 'she liked to sit in her chair and think'
how time flies when you're having fun,
or at least when you're really busy
I remember being a kid and dreading the end of summer and return to school
And now as a parent, I think as strongly as I was trying to hold onto the last days of summer, I bet my mom was wishing for the first day of school

IF = Tango
It takes two to 'tango'
Lame, I know :)
But I had much fun creating it.
I used modge podge instead of matte medium. Quite different. I see pro's and con's with both.
Modge podge:
Very thick (like thick school glue)
smells like glue
tacky and dries quickly
less expensive
I got fewer wrinkles and air bubbles in my collage elements (yay!)
slight sheen to surface when dry
matte medium
thinner
not tacky, you can reposition collage elements
matte finish
I will probably switch between both in the future depending on what effects I want.
It's good to have choices.

hazy
You'll have to click on the image to see it larger...
I was feeling a little constricted in the normal size which was 9" x 7.5" so I cut a really long, narrow piece of wood and created this lovely lady.
The dimensions are 17" x 6" and you can't tell in this scan, but I also added a wood box frame.
See her now on ebay
