This hot air balloon design is a tessellation or reflection of the contents of an equilateral triangle to adjacent triangles in three directions. Brass rods are bent into the segment shapes and laid on a hard resin layer. Then a 1/16″ clear resin layer is poured to seal between the rods. Small amounts of colored resin are poured carefully in the spaces. When the resin colors have cured a 3/16″ clear layer is poured just covering the brass rods. The finished slab is 0.5″ thick.
This unique brass and resin art piece is ready for a new home. It can be installed with LED backlights on a wall in your home or office. With lighting $250. With brass frame $400.

I’ll frame it with a 3/4″ brass square tube. The resin slab is 22.5″ x 22.5″ x 1/2″ thick. 2 feet long square tubes miter cut and soldered at the corners should look nice. Unfortunately the brass frame causes the price to go up to $400 (with LED lighting) but this one is worth the extra cost. Should I make more of these? Your input would help greatly.
