Candy Kaleidoscope Collage

I was inspired by clear blue skies and bright colors to create this tree titled Candy Kaleidoscope. The background was glazed with a sparkle over the sky blue background behind the tree so when light shines on the piece, the background sparkles. I individually sculpted/textured/painted and adorned each circle on the tree with found objects/items I've collected over the years such as crystals, mirrors, beads, jewelry, ceramic pieces shaped like flowers, moons, hearts, etc. and other treasures. I hand-painted with acrylic paint the tree trunk and background of the tree onto a wood panel measuring 20x20 inches - once artwork is assembled, I then coat the artwork in a 2 part epoxy resin which permanently embeds each circle/treasure on the tree and creates a shiny, irresistible surface over the artwork. I used sky blue with a silver sparkle glaze for the background of the tree. I used multiple colors of red, blue, pink, orange, yellow, green, purple black and white within the tree. This artwork is wired on the back for easy hanging.
