STARS AND PIPES

  « Kurt B.

(Political Pipe Art)

STARS AND PIPES This piece is made up of 290 spoons. Each spoon is hand numbered so you can refer to a map and locate it in the flag ... on the front of each spoon there is an image of the flag baked on to it (that you can clearly see your spoon in).
This was a fun way to make a simple little piece part of something bigger.

Happy Independence Day

Kurt B
thank you
thank you every one for the great feedback it really makes me feel good. i was starting to question my sanity on this one. i would also like to give special thanks to my girl Sarah for putting up with me the last three months and supporting me.

the baked on image is ceramic decal it's like a glaze that gets fired on the glass.

you could e-mail me if you have any more questions.
