I've been working on this piece for some time. Once I got the metal embossed it was time for mounting. I chose a nice piece of cradled birch' 12" square. Sanding ensued. I recall one of my students, sweating it out while sanding some wood, saying, "Mrs. Johnson, this doesn't feel like art!" Hahaha! There is a whole lot of art that doesn't feel like art if that's the case!
The colors I chose for the birch go nicely with the copper of the metal, and I rubbed the edges with turquoise to bring everything together as a whole. So far so good! Step by step.
My next step includes Gorilla Glue, and will take all night. After that I'll post to show you the final steps.
