I'm still hung up on bolo tie making (see my previous posts) - catching some eyes around the world.
I don't usually cut up my paintings into pieces, but I couldn't resist the impulse here; steps:
Hand made mica based paints (made with pigment + Golden GAC 100 acrylic polymer or thicker polymers) hand brushed and needle-extruded onto a sheet of Duralar film.
Dichroic film fragments glued on with gilding paste.
Various painting pieces glued onto the backs of 30mm glass cabochons with UV epoxy resin.
Back sides of the paintings then gilded with 23.75 carat gold leaf, pure fine silver leaf, or both.
Olive wood frames then lathe-turned, and finished with walnut oil.
Back-gilded cabochon/paintings inlaid into the olive wood frames.
Copper sliders attached to the backs.
4mm. braided leather chords threaded though the sliders.
Cast copper tips applied.
Some of these little techniques will soon find their way into pens.
Warm regards to all. - Bob
PS: The nine bolo ties above are from a brood of 30; exuberant birthing experience.
