Piece #540 – Ash & Calcite – 4.5″ by 8.5″
This is my intro to Multimedia 3D art. Composed of wood, stone, and acrylic paint. This piece has been in the works for about a year. The Monarch Butterfly near the top is made of yellow calcite crystals inlaid into the wood. The wood on the backside of the calcite was removed so the butterfly wings are transparent. The small Monarch below and to the right is made of wood and acrylic. It sets proud of the vase. The other Monarchs are relief carved and air brushed with acrylic paint. All of the Dogwood blossoms are relief carved and painted with acrylics. The base is a separate piece and supports and gives balance to the vase.
