This Peruvian Artwork was made using a 1/4″ wood board, the beads were pressed on warm wax to create the pattern. Some repairs were made before framing and because the entire back of the board had a hand written story in Spanish I did not adhere a backing to it, instead I created a pool of mat-board where the entire piece fell into safely keeping the bead work from being pressed against the glass. We always make sure the work is framed safely and undisturbed.
Happy Holidays everyone!
