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.

I haven't comment on your art for a while. You are going from strength to strength! I love your deeper ladies than ever! Amazing art!
Great illustration! Love the colors!! I also use both gel medium and modge podge and have come to similar conclusions. Fun to experiment, isn't it?! :) Silke
Son increibles tus obras, se me hacen extrañas y a la vez bellas... Me encanta todo, absolutamente todo.
very very very beautiful
Great piece! I just love your work but don't often leave a comment.
I've had trouble with modge podge remaining tacky even after lots of drying time. Did you have that problem at all?

Thanks for leaving the comment on my blog Sarah. The Mad Hatter's Tea Party was a great event - I'd highly recommend it!
I love your work. Your faces evoke such emotion, they look like they have so many interesting stories to tell.
Really nice work.
I really like this!
Gorgeous! Love, love your work - what a serendipitous discovery via Illo Friday. Off to see your Etsy store right this minute!
I have switched from gel medium to Modge podge for all my work. Not only is it more inexpensive...I love the glossy finish. I am loving your new creations!
It's wonderful Sarah! And not lame at all. Love the colors you used.
I love this piece, I am new to your work and I look forward to seeing more!
I really love this Sarah, it reminds me of me and my sister Jacquie.
