I love the odd shapes of historical microscopes, and this wooden one was my favorite when I painted it back in the early 2000s. The object the scientist was looking at rested on top of the big wheel on the left, under the lens. The lens was adjusted by pulling on the tiny string with the knobs on the right. I painted that little string last, saved it as a treat!

Allium and mint cast in unical plaster / concrete

Allium and mint cast in unical plaster / concrete mix, 12 x 12 inches. All summer I’ve been learning this process, and I’m finding that the thickness or thinness of the plant is part of the mix. This third dimension makes creating beautiful tiles different from making flat 2D prints...I’m on the lookout for thick plants that create shadows. #botanicalart #tile#leaf #natureart #natureprint #concreteart #plasterart #3dart #garlic #mint #trialanderror
