This little artwork is 6" x 6" square. Made with Shrinky Dinks® material and stainless steel rings that hang from stainless steel rods. The material is translucent, when hung on a wall it will throw shadows creating geometric shapes that change with the light throughout the day.
"Opportunity" by Melissa Osgood
6" x 6"
Shrink plastic and stainless steel
Like an advent calendar of sorts, abstract squares represent openings to opportunity. Where will they take you?

Always a challenge, this tricksy shrinking plastic. Images below show the process. Once cut, the pieces are melted in an oven and shrink before your eyes. I work the plastic while it's hot to create the opening. < ouch! > < cuss >
