Sirênes hotsell song

Mermaids mermaids mermaids through a traditional leaded glass tile motif frame, a classic in tile and glass shapes

Canvas comes rolled in a tube mailer
"Scrollmate" hanging system included


This listings photographs show the details of the pieces, the edging surface treatment, there can be over spray rustications etc. no bones about it it is a decorative folk item.

These were done with air brush, brush, the motifs are extractions from our sketch books, hand made into metal stencils. The tile is a variant, there are endless possibilities, of an 11th century roman floor tile that we have worked in quite a few directions and created probably 100 or more painting and floor cloths with it, can get pretty intense.

The motifs are chosen from dozens of sketches done from study and the so called “best” is selected. As an example, let us say dragonfly, many photos of dragonflies are analyzed, many are observed, they come in so many variations, there were 14 different types observed simultaneously at the state park here. We feel a good motif is a composite, a “meta Dragonfly” as it were, that is said in the fewest lines with powerful elegance and symbolism .

Blick medium weight smooth double primed front and back, it is a good deal of work but
this allows it to be mounted to a photo board and framed instead of stretching

As you can see there is a lot of extra material for mounting in a wide variety of ways

It is intended that they be mounted and framed ,but we came up with the scroll idea so they can be hung up when you get them, canvas is sold rolled like this all the time but we would like to be able to enjoy them immediately, so we think you would like to be able to enjoy it when you get it too, and that has been one of the “hang ups”. Hang up solved, it is pvc pipe with a hand cut slit, then lightly sanded. You can hang and enjoy the piece until you decided wether or not it needs a frame. We think they do not and work great like this. Keeping them in this format makes transporting and storage simple and less cumbersome, and, well it is the way works are kept and shown in the Orient, stored rolled and brought out as wanted. We hang them with 4” screws left about 2 1/4” off the wall surface and you can see the effect in the photos.

They hang from 1 fastener or 2 as you choose, 2 for windy locations 1 for calm areas. However one does fine 2 is a great hotsell aid great for leveling. They are very light and a very lightweight/gauge picture nail does just fine.
