A friend of mine did these drawings - using Japanese calligraphy paint brushes. using that as inspiration, i took a sheet of MDF, my trusty Dremel router and a pint of black paint to create the above... found the kanji symbols online (cant remember what they mean but they were power words of one form or another) drew them on the MDF and went to town.
for the paint treatment, i tried to do a crackled finish using white glue & a blow dryer that didn't work quite right but i left it there anyway . then went in with gold paint for the kanji symbols - the picture is self is surface mounted under a sheet of plexi

this is a closer view of the harlequin patterning i did on the photo wall... was very easy to do - just a bit of patience, a lot of masking tape & 2 quarts of white paint - one flat & one gloss...

this is a hack of an old series of Ikea wall light - it came with a flat plastic sheet that had a flower or leaf image on it - but i replaced that with a square of plexi, covered in a decorative paper then a square of tin - floated above the plexi by 1/2" long snips of glue sticks. I then centered a test tune , held by a wire wrap, and in the test tube i put a fabric rose i made from decorative ribbon & floral wire.

Found this mirror on the street in NYC - carted it around with me for an afternoon before getting it home - popped out the old dirty glass & replaced it with the pieces shown here which i silver-leafed on t he back to make them look a little more antique-ish & old.
