Dear Group;

Well, the entire show is now up at http://www.wlotus.com , click on
'now showing' and then, 'hank murrow' to see all the tiles in the
series save the nine new ones I take in tomorrow. I guess they'll be up
by Friday.

Notice the plaque mounted horizontally in the table i commissioned for
them. They really 'read' as aerial views that way.

I am getting over the cold, and no trace of the blues!

Cheers, Hank

Hank,

Thank you for posting the link. The tiles are very impressive!
Can you please share with us how you mounted and hung them.

Dear Hank:
We'll certainly have much to talk about when you are here in May; I have
been studying your plaques; they are beautiful and I will await your comments as
to what they mean to you. I hope the show goes very well for you.
All the best.

Marvin

Dear June;

I cut some marine plywood boards, 1/2" thick x 1.5" smaller than the
tiles. Glued sew-on beige Velcro loop tape 1.5" wide around the
periphery, and glued sew-on beige Velcro hook tape to the tiles in the
same location with E-6800 clear adhesive. Let dry overnight, drywall
screwed the boards to the wall, then placed the velcro-backed tiles
centered on the boards and pressed them in tightly. 20# tiles hang very
securely this way. Would take an earthquake or more to bring them down.
For the brick walls, we did everything the same except adding screw
eyes to the edge of the plywood to attach the wire hooks to that hang
from a picture rail above. The show went up from start to finish in
three hours. There are some tricks to the gluing of the velcro sew-on
hook & loop, anyone interested should mail me privately.

Cheers, Hank

Thanks Marvin;

They just added the most recent nine plaques to the site, and I love
'em!

I will share the story with the workshop participants for sure.
