This is a resist collage. You make a collage out of magazine images, then apply glue where you want the image to remain (or "resist"). Then use some stuff (I can't remember what it is... shoe polish? No? Lord knows. It's some chemical that removes the ink from the images) to distort the colours of the collage that's not protected by the glue. You can fade the ink a little or a lot; you can even smear the ink. It's pretty cool.

Cardstock, magazine cut-outs, glue, ... and that stuff I can't remember I made this about a year ago.

I got a scanner for Christmas, so as you can see, I'm finally able to put up some of my other works... That is, I'm not too lazy to use my new scanner, because it's in my room ^ ^

Edit: The chemical was called "never dull." It is a polishing compound that can be found at hardware stores. Apparently, it has been harder to find - you can use nail polish remover.

P.S. Wow!! A Daily Deviation?? Thank you so very much, especially to `oedalis!! *humble bow* I truly appreciate your support!
