Altered books - image challenge

First image challenge.  This is still not done.  I used both ends of a large glue stick for circles and large dots. I used a pencil eraser and bamboo skewer for smaller dots.  I stamped across my photo and worked some smaller dot patterns across his skin.  Not sure what I will do next, I just know that it is not done.

Altered books - background work

Adding a magazine image, using foam brush and adding some brush strokes. Can't remember what I tried first, but it didn't work and so I went over it with the foam brush and got this more foilage looking effect.
