First piece: "Repair"
I first cut out my print that I had decided to give a wash of red water colour.

I then sized it up to some layers of paper so that I could cut out the desired "window."




After cutting out the "window" I proceeded to draw out and cut the outer border to create my frame.



I glued all the pages, with PVA glue, together and pushed them to an angle to create my desired effect, then used a hot glue gun to quickly fix all the pages into place.


After adding the print into the frame, i glued this light transparent craft paper onto the outer layer. I wanted all my prints to be simple, but to have an impact and try to get the viewer to engage with the work. Which is why I did this, I wanted the viewer to really look hard into the frames and windows I've made.

Next i started on the other frame "Grow." Smaller then the last as this frame will hold the baby's pacifier print. 


Like my last print "Repair" I placed the light paper over it. This time in gold.




I still have other pieces to upload. Which will be uploaded shortly!
