Here is a new, tiny artwork that is titled "Yeah!" It is only 4" x 6" x 1" deep and utilizes the recycled CD/DVD materials as well as the recycled Christmas decorations from the Target store. Simple composition, but less is more you know.

This small 6" x 8" mosaic is another wrapped edge/self-framed piece only 1/2" deep. It is titled "Jewelscape" and utilizes the recycled, torch-modified CD/DVD material.

This piece is called "Thank You!" It is a basic mosaic composition using both the recycled CD/DVD and store decoration materials mentioned in a prior post. It is hung in the Co Art Gallery in the Santa Fe Art District in Denver.
This is a relatively large piece that one of my neighbors commissioned me to do. It is 12" x 24" x 1" deep. It is a self-framed mosaic composition similar to a smaller piece I did some time back, but with different colors and slightly different configurations. It is all torch-modified CD/DVD material. I entitled it "Crystal Kachina", as the compostion of the image is intended to be an abstraction of the Hopi Kachina entities, with a FLL Wright twist.

This piece is called "Code II". It is an 8" x 8" x 1" deep, self-framed wall mosaic art piece using the torched CD/DVD material. It is self-framed in that the CD/DVD pieces wrap back over the wood sub-frame so that no mat or other visible frame is needed. This piece is available for $75 plus any shipping cost.
This piece is entitled "Wow, Man!" and utilizes both the jewel-like CD/DVD material and some new recycled material I haven't used before. The red and orange diffraction-type materials were cut from discarded
Christmas decorations that were hung in a Target store. While normally tossed in the dumpster when the holidays are over, I asked the lady in charge of decorations if she would save that portion for me. She did and I'm glad because I think this material has great color, is very eye-catching and great to work with. The orange is the result of lightly caressing the basic red material with a small torch flame.


I actually did this piece as a gift for her to thank her for going to the extra trouble of saving this great material for me.
