Last Christmas, our family donated enough $ to a cause that we get loads of mail with free gifts in an attempt to get us to continue donating. We have received a two pack of coasters 4x so far. I decided to gesso them, and have turned 4 into assemblage pieces. I haven’t done anything else with the other four yet.
I have a can of spray gesso. I’ve never really used it before, but adding it to my found objects prior to painting black helped. I will remember to do this in the future. Let’s work this project back in time.
Maybe it’s the paint color as well, but your faux assemblage is reading as MesoAmerican. Very cool.
I like to see assemblages. They’re visually interesting whether painted or not. Yay!
The spray gesso was a “now” happy accident when the day I bought it, I was actually looking for a spray adhesive and totally bought the wrong thing. I had ended up messing up a piece I had made with it.
