Second Chances

I don't know if the difference will be apparent here but I used the IF piece to play with the gel medium I bought to seal some of my collage work...

Of note: I should have paid more attention to the comments on warping  caused by the mix of medium and water. It produced a thin, shiny coat but was not exactly what I wanted. So after that first coat dried and then spent some time under my over-sized art books, I did another thicker coating of the medium with no additive. Resulting in the above image...

Note the damage because I have no patience and the collage stuck to every damn thing....

I've gotten a bit better but only a bit, as you will see when I post the piece that started my investigation into sealing and glossiness.
