Portfolios > RECENT WORK: RELICS AND RELIQUARIES

3/4 view shows 5 sided nature of the reliquaries.
I found this unusual old metal ruler with a glass center. It has an 1884 date on it. The glass center permits you to see the work beneath it. I used the shape of that glass center as the dominant shape on the reliquary surface.

Antique metal ruler, basswood, old prints, acrylic paint
