Telamadera Plaque on Collaged Background

A central elliptical wood plaque (look closely) was created a number of years ago.  A Telamadera technique was used on it (acrylic paint base painted over the wood with fused fabric added and then embellished with decorative elements) with a few coats of varnish -- though still needing more.

So, I took it the center piece out of the garage where it had been stored up until the time I finally decided to complete it.  The next steps included adding many more layers of varnish.  Then, I created a collaged paper background to mimic the central design--but in 2D--to create a mandala like effect.

I'm very happy with the paper colors.  They work perfectly and complement the Telamadera piece very nicely.

A shout out and thank you goes to Alma de la Melena Cox who developed the Telemadera technique and does some very neat work of her own!
