Recently I had Steve cut down several frames that once held another series.  Only one or two sold.  It was high time to take the artwork out and cut the legs of the frames into usable squares for small Found Object Mandalas.  The older work was matted to a standard 16" x 20" and slipped into an appropriate cellophane bag.  The price was reduced accordingly.  It then became my job to fill the frames.  It was a challenge to work small but it was fun.
