2 New ACEOs

I have 2 new ACEOs that I have just completed. The background on both start with acrylic paints. Both also feature some vintage ephemera. The Little Necks ACEO has some vintage ephemera along with a vintage photo added over the acrylic. There is texturing using medium gel added to the paint. Small watch parts have been added and the entire piece is sealed.
The All smiles ACEO has vintage ephemera, along with hearts and silver discs and beads added and then sealed .
