This was a specialty job that came my way last January. The client wanted a one of a kind design that would knock him out. Price no object ( Yea Right. ) The client had a white on white contemporary decor with other art with strong colors.
The stars were painted on the backside of the plexi. This was done by buying some large plastic stars at the supermarket placing the stars on the paper covering the plexi and carefully cutting around the edges. When done cutting, remove the paper stars from the plexi exposing the plexi for painting. I knew the customer like hot pink as it was in other art at his home. Krylon brand Florecent Pink was used for painting.
The spacing of the stars was a critical measurement. I placed one star in each corner, then figured the number and space between each. Lines and marks were made on the plexi paper to help in placing the stars.
If anyone wants addition info just ask.
Mat was a sculptured linin mat with a 3/16 raised overlay w/round corners. The mat was shaddow boxed 7/8 from the plexi for a deep look. A white fillet was used around the inside edge of the mat.
