Layered Imagery

I need to also tell you about the other 2 celebrity glasses I decorated using my Layered Imagery Technique. I was very excited to do both of these for obvious reasons. I have watched Regis's talk show since the time his show was aired nationally. I created a portrait that is 14" x 18" of him years ago thinking I would send it to him. I never did so I used a much smaller reproduction of it to insert into the glass. The NYC skyline behind him was enhanced by hiding a newspaper sports page, a microphone, musical notes and the Notre Dame dome with the Emmy statue on top where the Virgin Mary should be ( I hope that is not sacrilegious! HA!). These all represent something about him and his career.

Then I created a 3-D desk from his talk show Live with Regis and Kelly and made tiny books and record albums he made over the years and made a clay coffee cup and put them all on top of the desk. On the front of the desk is a photo of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Then there is the Robert Redford glass! How cool is this?! I made a 3-D film real that also shoots through the glass. If you look closely the words "Sundance Film Festival" is peeking in between the reel's holes. A lot of us associate Robert with horses and the west and, of course, film as an actor and a director. The front is a galloping horse that I reproduced and shrunk to fit from an original 30" x 40" portrait I previously created and out from the horses's tail begins the film itself which wraps around the glass. Each square on the film has an image of Robert in his movies and Sundance. BTW this glass was auctioned off for $1,900.00 at the gala! I feel good about that!

Again I hope one of my next blogs will be about the portraits I create for Regis and Robert!
