Copper-ific: Finished


This is the piece commissioned as a gift for the outgoing board chairman of a local non profit jewish agency. 
It is wall mounted. 

The Words in hebrew are Mee Ha-eesh...which in common vernacular translates to "Who Da Man?" Thes are the first two words taken from Psalms 34:13-15. The entire phrase is translated as, "Who is the man, who wants life, loves all his days, and sees the goodness." It is not really a question...rather it is an instruction.  

The backing is a sheet of hand-polished copper. 1/4" above it is a sheet of clear tekta that I covered with black stringer and tack fused. 1/8" above that is a black rainbow iridescent, clear capped disk with hebrew lettering cut out of dichroic glass and a small chamsah (also dichroic.)

I hope the recipient likes it.  He worked hard to benefit the community and deserves praise and recognition.
