Waiting For You - SOLD Sculpture

At 5”h x 6” d x 8.5” w this Mixed Media Sculpture is from the Animal Tales series. In the ANIMAL TALES series I am joining my love of stories and my love of animals with the need to create with repurposed materials. I create hand drawn kiln processed glass paintings of animal portraits and attach them to manipulated books the titles of which are specific to the animal either in personality or in subject matter. A white calico cat with blue eyes and a longing expression was the image chosen to be attached to the repurposed and manipulated book WAITING FOR YOU by Susane Colasanti. Sheet glass from a repurposed picture frame is resized to fit the book. The front of the piece of glass is then painted on the front with a black line drawing in glass/porcelain paint. The reverse side is painted in acrylic. The painted glass image is then permanently affixed to the book. Tiny clear reflector beads adorn the piece. The Animal Tales Series of artworks are considered "Book Art/sculpture" in which books are transformed into three dimensional artworks which often include hand painted glass and other materials. SHIPPING NOTE: This piece will be shipped in a Double Box arrangement {BOX INSIDE OF A BOX} in which the inside box holds the bubble-wrapped artwork securely inside and the outside box is double or triple walled with biodegradable (bagged)foam peanuts securely surrounding the inside box. This method is very protective for the Artwork and saves on the cost of shipping a crate. HOWEVER, if the customer requests a crate be used, the shipping weight/cost to the collector will increase from 7.5 to 24 lbs.
