I know what you must be thinking - Harvey's gone mad!

Though you may be at least partially correct, today's art is an experiment in doing mosaic with the torched CD material. It turned out well and is very pretty - especially in certain lighting. In sunlight it is very spectacular, throwing flashes of every color in the spectrum, while in fluorescent lighting it throws predominantly blue-green flashes. Overall, it looks like jewels of various kinds. I used three different varieties of CD on this piece, as well as two small accent triangles of brass bullet casing material.

It is all glued onto a dark blue background board. It took me a long time to do this as the pieces are pretty small and the overall piece is only about 4" x 6". Be sure to click on the photo to bring up the larger version (and to get an even better closeup, wait for the little expander box to come up in the lower right corner as you leave the cursor on the photo).

Next time I've got to work with larger pieces.
