Titled: Another Look into My Haunted Forest

Artist's always sell there best work. This one is for sale.

Framed stoneware tile frieze in krylon green and bronze "liver of sulfur" wash finish.

Peruvian Honduran Mahogany frame

All my tiles start as mahogany relief woodcarvings,then … made into plaster molds, pressed stoneware clay and kiln fired to around 2000 degrees

Bronze patina finish is produced similar to "David Marks" DIY techniques . I use a combination of materials but a good place to start is /:http://www.sculptnouveau.com.

You might want to compare this set of tiles to some of my earlier pieces. Been carving and scratching on the plaster mold sharpening the small details etc. .... adding a little texture and contrast. Hopefully visual interest.



All works of quality must bear a price in proportion to the skill, time expense and risk attending to their invention and manufacture. Those things called dear, are, when justly estimated, the cheapest. They are attended with much less profit to the artist then those things which everbody calls cheap.

What is most impressive about your framing of these tiles is that it gives the illusion of being 5 or 6 inches deep and that you are actually looking out a framed up window. Someone could buy this and add a window to their home. As always, an incredible arts & crafts piece. You are one of the keepers of the flame. bqKing.

Your work is nothing short of masterful.

I can only wish I had your talent.

Thank you all for the great-great comments.
Also a pair of frames with similar design, but in Zebra wood. Tiles are the single scarab pieces. One green and one brown.
Will post them later, either as a project or in my CLAY blog

I made a run of five frames like this one. ... Another green tile set and a rudy brown set. Both in mahogany.

I couldn't agree more with what others have posted here. I don't even dream of doing such intricate and complex work. Thanks for posting.
