This is my 6-inch-by-6-inch mixed media self portrait collage. Using my own photo, I layered translucent paper on top of card stock and used water color pencils, ink, cloth and three-dimensional fabric paint to create this self portrait that I call “So Very Sandy.” It’s full of drama (note the giant orange divalicious hat I recently purchased for an outdoor jazz festival; hope they can see around me), whimsy, complex textures and plenty of imperfections–so me.
I blogged about it here: http://sandycoleman.wordpress.com/2011/07/25/self-portrait/
Inspiring! Makes me want to try your method. Thanks for sharing.
Love it!
I really like this Sandy. I can sense your spirit from the piece. Job well done!

Your art is always inspirational, Sandy (I have in the past visited your blog at wordpress) and I love this self-portrait. Your devalicious (great word!) orange hat against the pale violet background is perfect…projects so much vibrancy and flamboyance—and you have me running out to buy some 3D fabric paint!
How could you not love Sandy, nice? Your personality really shows in your piece.
Beautiful…and love the hat!
