Busy Pictures

What a busy day I have had for the past couple of weeks.  Here is some of what you would see in my studio, if you were to look now.

Above is a 2x2 inch piece.  Below is not a piece of my art, but I wish it was.  It is the Austin Marathon Poster.  Soon it will be in my studio.  I love it.

I have been making cabacons.

The one below is one of my favorite.  The top ends up being a Star of David.  I love the blue and silver.  That is Tiffany Blue.

Buttons make good cabachon centers.

Your only hint:  a part of something else.All of the following are.

Everything is texture and optical illusion.
