This was a piece I did several years ago. 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 Frameworks in Colorado Springs) enhances the piece, more than a regular frame job could have. (Yes, that is wood--this thing is heavy!)
