I love the addition of the stamped metal. What did you adhere it with?
I like your pieces because it's like art within art. Beautiful.

Very interesting. I've used different materials in paintings at times. This technique is a bit different for me.

I love the correlation of "layers" to Hawaii, which is in essence made up of layers (of lava) along with years of mother nature and Madam Pele.
