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.

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

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

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

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.

I've always carried a notebook with me, but I tend to fill it with To Do's and grocery shopping lists! The challenge is to keep it for more inspiring content.
