Love those wonder boxes

*hogret Jul 23, 2012

Thank you! they're beginning to clutter up my studio, though.

I really love this. I thought it was digital at first, but when I read the description I found out it was an assemblage. Very nice job.

*hogret Jul 17, 2012

Assemblage is an interesting challenge - I find it much harder than 2D collage or, of course, digital (no "Undo" button!).

~Squirrel2121 Jul 17, 2012 Student General Artist

Definitely. I would surely like to try it sometime. Where do you get all of your materials?

*hogret Jul 23, 2012

I rummage around junk shops and charity shops for little bits and pieces!

These are so fun in there sweet tins …How long did this take to make (your description sounds labor intensive)

*hogret Jul 17, 2012

Takes awhile! Not only the multiple layers and waiting for the resin to set, but also hunting for the perfect objects and composition. I work on three simultaneously, and it takes a good few weeks before one is complete.

Super! The glasses!

*hogret Jul 17, 2012

The glasses were a last minute inspiration!
