making my unknown known


in preparation for the magic city art connection festival in birmingham in april, i am trying something new to me -mounting prints to wood panel boxes.  
in past festivals i have always matted and framed my photographic work.  wanted to try something new for my digital collages...
23 done so far and i'm loving the effect.

i'm thinking about posting a simple tutorial if anyone would be interested????

    1. a 12"x12" wooden panel (box like a canvas) costs $9.28 at Dick Blick art supply. you then need some wood stain, sand paper, gel medium, etc. in my opinion still much less expensive than matting/ framing or having them printed to canvas.
