| COPPERCUTTS LIZARD WALL PLAQUE |
HOWDY! This 5.5" x 12" Lizard wall plaque is totally unique. Inspired by the natural beauty, wildlife, and Native American heritage of Arizona, I use natural copper, contrasted with patinaed copper, laminated to hardwood, to capture the spirit of the Southwest. By using the process described below, the look of expensive solid copper artwork is reproduced in a lightweight and inexpensive form.
COPPER LAMINATED TO WOOD.....NOT SOLID COPPER
The first step is bonding a thin sheet of heat treated copper to 1/8" thick birch plywood. Detailed designs, most including inlays, are then cut by hand using the tiny blades of a scroll saw. The various pieces are separated, and portions of the design are oxidized, to create an aged/mineralized effect. After the acid treating is complete, the inlays are re-installed; then the entire piece, including the back and edges, is sprayed with multiple coats of clear lacquer. This locks in the colors of both the heat treated and verdigris copper for the entire front surface.
SIMILAR PHOTOS.....NOT ACTUAL PHOTOS
Because CopperCutts are created with natural processes, the colors and textures will vary. The photos show some of that variety, with the last photo showing the backside. If you have a color or direction preference, let me know. I'll send the closest match or let you know what I have on hand.
FINISHED FOR INSIDE.....NOT OUTSIDE...USE
Display these plaques individually as accent pieces in your home or office, or combine them with other decorative accessories, such as baskets or dried flowers, to create a stunning Southwestern wall or room. Because they are so lightweight, small pins, nails, or double sided tape all work well for hanging...no need to find a wall stud! A "How Do I Hang This?" insert is packed with each piece. They are not recommended for exterior use, but can be displayed in protected (from direct sun and rain) outdoor locations, like under a porch.
