It has been a while since I published anything. I had decided to experiment with steel frames. I believe this is probably the way to go for heavy pieces, such as the series of eyes I am working on presently.
Because these pieces are long and can be fragile (I broke one or two of them, and the repair work is something I would rather not have to do again) I now reinforce the backing board with wood before I transfer the mosaic onto it. I also thought the steel frame would also considerably reinforce the whole piece.
As I am not equipped to weld, I had to find welders to help me, this took a little while, tests, and errors (on my part)...
Anyway, I am about to publish 3 more pieces, I need to get some good pictures of them, but - for your eyes only - here are details of two of them,..
"Los Ojos de Maribel"
and
"Les Yeux d'Eva"...
Both pieces are approximately 53 x 14 inches (133 x 35 cm), and made of ceramics, glasses and granites.
Stay tuned, I will soon publish full pictures of these pieces.
Send me a picture of the eyes of a person dear to you, I will create a beautiful mosaic of them.
