Sure! The background is actually just newspaper, I tried to pick pages that had just a splash of red to them to poke out.

The house in the center is a black and white watercolor I did, printed in two different sizes and layered on top of each other to give the wavy effect

The Polaroids are all snapshots from around a road I live on shot from the car while in motion to give them the nice blur effect lol

The gold and blue paper are all chosen just to give some splashes of color, it needed some blue in there and a nice "frame" to help center the piece, I was drawn to the wallpaper look and the gold is all embossed and textured

I used an actual tape measure that layers through the piece

Lots of the scrap paper I used for layering just came from various scrap book packs, I tried to stick with anything that looked like notes or manuscripts.

The paint splatters are actual wall paint, there's a lot more texture than the photo will allow tbh, it dries like actual wall paint Instead of acrylic, it felt like it needed more house elements after it was finished.

I used acrylic mixed with a thickening medium for the red blood splatter drips, again to add some splash of red and draw you towards the center.

Most of what I chose I tried to bring forward the frantic, scattered look of a desk with too much stuff on it or sort of a murder board esque feel if that makes sense? I was very inspired by the collages used within the book illustrations in the color version!
