Reflecting on love

I’ve always found your work very interesting and unique. Keep up the great work. Nice piece with a lot of depth and thought.

All that “wood speaking to you” makes me roll my eyes.
None the less, this is a very unique and cool piece so I guess I should say, “keep it up”........even if it means you hear voices and are boarder-line crazy.

Ellen, another beautiful piece. Way to see the works of art from using a mirror.

The wood that “spoke” to me was unique and had the hump in it to allow me the idea of how to make it into a heart. The theme of the charity is “Works of Heart”. It’s too funny, because, when I went back to the wood store to show them what I built, they said, hmmm, I’d have cut that width in half and book matched it and created a heart shape that way. I looked at it another way…thinking from the very beginning, hmmm, can i mount this thing on a mirror??

What’s the other side of the piece look like in the mirror.

It is the 3rd image in the top. Lots of faces on that one.

How did you mount it to the mirror?

I’m a huge proponent of letting people see what they do in Mother Natures gifts, so the mirror works for me. Wishing you the best at the auction.

Ellen cool idea and well done.

When someone says to me what are you going to do with that board, I tell them I’ll know when it tells me. Guess I’m crazy too.

That is absolutely beautiful. Good job listening to the wood, and your heart.

I tested a very heavy piece of wood by epoxy to see if it would stick to the glass on the mirror. The next day i took a hammer to the side of that piece of wood and couldn’t knock it off the glass. I tested drilling into the mirror and using diamond blades, it cracked the glass on all tries. So the epoxy works!

I truly don’t understand that the epoxy will not stick to shipping tape, but sticks to glass!

Thanks for all the feedback and nice comments.
