Rose Colored Glasses

Through the years I have made several pieces I dubbed Rose Colored Glasses. The idea is that magical thinking is more appealing than taking responsibility for our actions and then to adjust our behavior.

This piece is sculpted using 100% recycled materials, then painted with nontoxic glue and no VOC/low VOC paint.

 

 

Beach Rock Coffee Table

 

Beach rock coffee table was crafted using recycled fibers and materials. This piece was painted with low/no VOC water based paint. I used a thin layer of solvent free resin on the top. I am leaning away from resin because I’m not convinced that it is eco-friendly just because Stone Coat Countertops produces it without solvents. I have several gallons to use, then I will likely stick to ecofriendly paints.

 


 

Table In Process

This table and cabinet will resemble cast iron when complete. I had it suggested to me that I should post some pieces in different stages of my process. I plan on adding sparkles and dangly bits, too. Hopefully I will have an update soon.

Green and Blue Agate Coffee Table

 

This coffee table, like many of these pieces is constructed from empty paint cans and other containers as the filling with a specially mixed recycled pulp exterior. They are then sealed with a combination of low/no VOC glue and paint, sometimes  combined with the recycled chalk paint from the restore. The top of this table is solvent free resin made by Stone Coat Countertops.
