“Alice” is a Lenticular poster. It is a kind of 3-D poster that when viewed from different angles, allows Alice to grow or shrink. I started this frame with mild steel flat stock, then bent some thin monell material to a curved shape. Welded all these pieces together, and went over the entire frame with sanding discs and scotch pads. I then added some flattened copper pipe accents to each corner, and hand riveted them into place.

For the frame of this canvas photo of a Gargoyle at the top of Notre Dame Cathedral, I’ve cut lengths of steel, barbed wire fence posts, burned all the edges with a torch, and rough brazed them together. I then burned all the remaining paint from the frame, and went over it with a wire wheel and left, as is, to rust over time.

This copper pipe frame was one of the first frames I made using this material. The actual image in the frame is a puzzle I liked very much and decided to frame. The copper is all the same size, including the corners, bands and points. I’ve rough soldered all the pieces together, leaving solder to run as it would. I then went over the finished frame with scotch pads.
