A fun little "on the side" project ...

What's backing the stonework?

She did the mosaic on 1/4" Hardi-Backer board. I backed that up with 1" of Baltic birch ply.

Thanks, Han ... but I just did the simple frame. The artistry is in the hand work of the mosaic and iron work.

Fine wood, nice steel and pretty broken plates-- or "pique assiette" if we want to be fancy. And it's fancy.

As color blind as I am, I could still appreciate the gorgeous complement of the hand rubbed walnut to the old leather couch ... a "rich' look, indeed. Wished I had something besides a DroidX POS camera, you really need to be there.

Man, drop that in my living room and I'd try to design a room around it. Beautiful! If I was selling that, I'd find the hoitiest-toitiest reseller I could find!

Whoa.... I liked the mosaic work before, but that frame around it now makes it just jump out. I think it is a hard task to make a piece like that look classy as the mosaic patterns can go so terribly wrong sometimes.

Not there. Your frame was the perfect compliment; its exacting tolerances and hand applied finish really make the whole piece come together. What a great job.

Nice.

Thanks, Robert ... I enjoyed working with the other folks on that project, no pressure, just do your thing and see what comes. It is certainly not something I would have sought out, or even thought I'd like doing for that matter.

How nice now I see it in its element. I hope to find the patience to try out some of those exotic finishes. I still see elements of Starry Night....

Nice!

Lithium wouldn't reduce the hallucinogenic component of Absinthe, the elixir that many scholars believe caused Van Gogh to see the swirls evident in many of his paintings. Hallucinations AND enormous amounts of gas are both a side effects of absinthe. The gas often so bad that one can be mistaken for a loud motorcycle. Hence:
