It was completed in one afternoon, sitting at the kitchen table with piles of beans scattered around me. It was a lot of fun to make, although I originally mounted it on cheap cardboard (I hadn't planned on liking it so much!), which led to a lot of warping and cracking. After repeatedly wetting both the cardboard and glue, then gently pressing it flat, I finally got the piece back in shape and ready to be framed. Good thing, too--I really think the framing (kudos to <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS274US275&um=1&q=Frameworks&near=Colorado+Springs,+CO&fb=1&view=text&latlng=13250527093109987491">Frameworks</a> in Colorado Springs) enhances the piece, more than a regular frame job could have. (Yes, that is wood--this thing is heavy!)<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a name="tiger"><a href="http://alexremy.com/2007/11/new-pieces-for-sale.html#greenpunk"><img src="http://www.ariawebdesign.net/beantigerwood500.jpg"></a></a><br><font size=2><a href="http://alexremy.com/2008/03/recently-completed-ivah-test.html#ivah" style="text-decoration:none"><</a> <a href="http://alexremy.com/2007/05/mixed-media.html" style="text-decoration:none">|</a> <a href="http://alexremy.com/2007/11/new-pieces-for-sale.html#greenpunk" style="text-decoration:none">></font></a><br><font size=1>Beans, glue and cardboard<br>17.5 x 23.5</font><br></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.ariawebdesign.net/beantigerdetail.jpg"><br /><br>Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04374710625412915250contactalexremy@gmail.com
