This is my 'layered' piece that I created by sticking down newspaper cuts to create an interesting background. I then drew on my original study of a baby in a jar- from the museum- and worked into it with a black marker pen to make the picture stand out and not sink into the busy background. I wanted the newspaper to look older and worn so I then painted the paper with linseed and stand oil which took AGES to dry and made every tall person (who wasn't looking where they were going) hair greasy,but left it looking the way that I'd hoped.
I edited my photo of my work on photoshop and changed to saturation and contast, i then played around with the effects and ended up with this ^ which reminded me of the work by Paul Klee as he creates pieces of work which looks very soft and reminds me of woven fabric.

Ooh! That's really cool! It looks almost mummified! The newspaper with linseed oil was very effective!
