Pierced Bird Window

1 September 2009

This lit­tle cop­per piece is wait­ing for a home. It’s about 2.5 inches square. The back­ground and fig­ure win­dow are cop­per. The tube riv­ets and spac­ers are brass.

1 September 2009

After a long time sit­ting on the table in 5 or 6 pieces the Guadalupe/Sirena shrine has finally come together. I never did find a place for the rose petals. A cou­ple of details. My hand col­ored and glit­tered Vir­gin­sita. The oddly appeal­ing Chicken Boy.

II">Stenciling a Three Panel Screen, Part II

11 February 2009

More on the screen for Jim’s office. Once the sten­cil had had chance to dry I took the fab­ric pan­els off the screen (yeay vel­cro.) I didn’t do any prep work on the fab­ric  -  poly(?) can­vas. The paint will stick well enough and I don’t expect to try to wash the pan­els. By the […]
