I used her in a few recent pieces and a friend commented that she wondered what the girl was thinking. Another friend said she had frozen eyes and one regret. She certainly gives one a lot to think about when looking at her. I wonder about her life, and find joy in the new life Gale has given her photo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>METHOD<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Paint and Distress Baroque Triptych<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The way I distressed the Triptych was trial and error. I began by spray painting the pieces gold. Next I painted sections with some transparent orange acrylic paint. I covered that with gold pigment mixed with varnish and threw some crackle medium over all of it. I scratched and sanded back parts of it until it had a distressed look and coloring that I liked. At the end, I used a wood burning tool to add details. Next time I&#8217;ll try burning into the wood first, although both ways have interesting results.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a collage to fit the three panels.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Make a &#8216;sandwich&#8217; of the collage, the triptych front and back and glue together.<\/li>\n<li>Embellish the triptych with wood burning tool, rhinestones or other jewels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3390\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_3390\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 300px\"><a
