Display Pieces

The display pieces are either free hand painted, or etched into a polished surface, and then airbrushed.  The artwork is then coated with a clear polyurethane or Lithichrome to protect and seal it.  The pieces are then mounted on a metal or hardwood base.  I prefer the use of wood bases for two reasons.  First, they are much easier on the table surface, and stone or wood floor, then a stone base.  Second, the wood base compliments most wood furniture the pieces will be displayed on.
