OMG! I thought I faved and commented on this the first time I saw it...
D'oh!

What a wonderful piece of art! I am guessing you must have done the anodizing yourself, to get it like that, right? I wish I had a full shop to be able to work pretty stuffs like this.

Awesome!

Thanks.

Yeah, it was my grad piece. For a big thesis paper I had to write last term I chose aluminum anodizing as applied to small studios. I did a TON of samples for my research, so I got pretty good at it.

It was the college's studio, though, so I don't have access anymore.

I'd sign up for an independent study class or something, that way you could use the facilities.

Bummer!
It's a bit of an investment, to build a full shop like that, but you have the talent enough to make it pay off!
