"Sunflower Fantasy"

This piece is based on 3 levels of plexiglass. The plexiglass has been painted white on the back and the piece is meant to be hung on a wall. The colors of the background are done with alcohol ink. The glass-which is all safe to work with -  are various sizes of ground glass originally from the Los Lunas, NM recycling department, and tempered glass-"crash glass" from recycled shower doors and other recycled glass.

The flowers, leaves and stems are made from various recycled plastic. The leaves and stems have been painted with mixture of Mod Podge and acrylic paint over which glass sand has been sprinkled. The large sunflowers were originally the covers of take-out orders of salads.
