Street Symmetry - SOLDEucalyptus leaves found in the street near a majestic tree could have been merely swept away. These have been eco-printed on folded raw silk to create a mirror image. Guitar strings adorn the center, and hand-made paper from Asparagus stalks anchors the piece which is backed by a scrap of Army green wool.
As with all art works, keep away from direct sunlight. |

This botanical mixed media collage is mounted on lightweight birchboard. Upcycling and re-use is always an element in my work, so I've incorporated a steel guitar string into the back of each piece as the hanger, along with a foam strip to support the light-weight birch board against the wall.
If you prefer, you could also mount the piece on matt or foam board and frame the piece. The guitar string hanger can be easily clipped off, and the foam buffer strip can be removed as well. I suggest an inside frame size of 12 X 12.
Frame suggestions:
Sannahed from Ikea, 12 X 12 white
Also available in black
Prixas from Amazon, 16 X 16 light oak
Also available in 12 X 12, 18 X 18 and 20 X 20 in white black and dark oak
