  3. Yo,

    I am a real modernist. This is from a series entitled "Art on a Stick, for People on the Go".


    I would love to have a workshop on "Working like an Egyptian."

  5. The piece looks like glass, very beautiful. How is it mounted and to what type of material wood or metal and with epoxy or ?

    and will the workshop include buidling pyramids?

  6. Wow, That is the most comments ever. Guess I should make more Egyptian paste stuff.

    It is mounted on a metal rod which is screwed into a piece of solid metal from the scrap yard. I found a long motor bolt and cut the end off and then drilled and tapped the metal and screwed it in.

    The "pear" just has a hole that the rod slides into and is held by gravity. No glue.
