Mossy Green Bicycle Wheel Mandala Record Bowl

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 23:47:30 -0500

$58.00
Mossy Green Bicycle Wheel Mandala Record Bowls (the design reminds me of a bike wheel!) are created from recycled 12" vinyl records. The "platters from the past" are upcycled with fresh acrylic paint and an original Eye Pop Art mandala design which is painted freehand with acrylic.

My record bowls are hand painted in original psychedelic patterns, heated, and lovingly sculpted into uniquely organic, flower-like forms. I seal up the spindle holes so the bowls are water tight and functional.

I use a semi-gloss polyurethane finish to protect the paint and make the bowls food safe. I leave the original record labels intact (and also sealed with polyurethane) on the bottom of each bowl - which record will YOU get?

Eye Pop Art bowls are fantastic for holding fruit, candy, candles, trinkets, or anything your heart desires. They are bright, colorful art objects to set on your coffee table. They are eco-friendly and make a great conversation piece! Surprise your guests when you tell them to flip the bowl over and see the very interesting recycled material that it was made from!

Most of us have fond memories of the days when all we listened to was records - let the music live forever with a Mandala Record Bowl.

(Hand wash gently with a damp cloth, air dry. Please do not put in the dishwasher, oven, or microwave!) ___________________________________________________________

Lollipop - a Mandala Suncatcher made from upcycled CD spacer

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 23:19:52 -0500

$10.00
Here's a neat, inexpensive way to truly brighten up your home with gorgeous art. These suncatchers have a lovely glow when the sun lights them up, and they also make you happy on a cloudy day.

My Mandala Suncatchers feature my original designs. These designs started out as paintings on vinyl records. Digital photos of the paintings are printed onto transparent decal material and affixed to an upcycled clear plastic CD spacer. I then drill a hole through the disk and attach a suction cup on a hook so it's easy to hang it in the window and let the sun shine in!

In the pictures you can see what they look like hanging in a window with the blue Oregon sky as background.

The suncatchers come packaged in a clear plastic bag. They are 4.75" (12.065 cm) in diameter.

Please note that the images are inkjet printed and the suncatchers are designed to hang on the inside, not the outside, of the window, as they will smear if they get wet.

I have more than 30 unique mandala designs that are all available as Mandala Suncatchers. Please see the other listings in my shop for more mandalas, art and accessories made from recycled vinyl records, and the Mod Mandalas Coloring Book.

Men's Basic Black Classic - a Roman Record Cuff by Eye Pop Art

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:18:23 -0500

$14.00
Roman Record Cuffs are made from upcycled black vinyl LP records.

This larger style is great for the guys and would make a sweet gift for that DJ, musician, record collector, punk rocker, or Roman gladiator in your life!

It's basic black, so it goes with everything, and it's so cool to see the grooves in the record and know there's music in there!

All edges have been carefully sanded and smoothed for your comfort.

Easy to put on and take off, it does have some flexibility and can be slightly stretched "open" as needed.

I call this the "Classic" style - it's not quite as chunky as the Roman style, but not as thin as the Bracelet style. Classic cuffs are cut so that the original rounded edge of the record curves around the lower part of your wrist and the top of your hand.

This is a larger size cuff and is designed for men but would also work great for a woman with a bigger wrist.
It will fit a wrist with a circumference of 7" - 8".

Roman Record Cuffs come with a little instruction card explaining how to resize them if needed. Please note that it is easier to make a vinyl cuff smaller than to make it bigger!

If you are looking for a smaller size please see the other listings in my shop.

Rockabilly - a Mandala Record Bowl

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:51:50 -0500

$62.00
"Rockabilly" is an original mandala painting in sharp white, bright red, and glossy black on a recycled 12" vinyl record.

My record bowls are hand painted with acrylics, heated, and lovingly sculpted into unique organic, flower-like forms. I have sealed up the spindle hole so it is water tight and functional. The entire bowl, as well as the original record label on the bottom of the bowl, has been sealed with a glossy finish.

This bowl is great for holding fruit or candy or just as an art object to set on your coffee table. It is one of a kind and gorgeous, and an awesome conversation piece!

Mandala Pillbox - Black and White

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 17:22:46 -0500

$3.00
I have a very limited amount of these Mandala Pillboxes!

Each box is one-of-a-kind and there will never be another one like it.

I found a small amount of these little round plastic boxes at SCRAP, a program here in Portland, Oregon that diverts tons of materials from being thrown into the landfill by reselling them to the public. I bought 'em up, because I love circles...

Circle, of course, is what the Sanskrit word "mandala" means, and mandalas are my middle name!

So I cleaned the boxes, printed stickers of my mandala designs, and put them on the box lids to create cool new upcycled love! I also lined the bottom of the box with coordinating felt.

The mandala images are all digital photos of my original designs, which started out as paintings on recycled vinyl records.

The boxes are about 1 5/8" in diameter (4.13 cm) and about 5/8" (1.5875 cm) deep.

The lid is easy to snap open and closed.

These boxes are perfect to throw in your purse or take on a sleepover. You can use them to store small treasures, jewelry, medications, or anything that needs to be stashed!

Fuchsia Red Mandala Record Clock - made from recycled vinyl record

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 14:57:30 -0500

$55.00
It's the Fuchsia Red Mandala Record Clock made from an upcycled vinyl record.

The clock features my original, psychedelic mandala design, hand painted using high quality acrylics in bright fuchsia red, with iridescent silver highlights and a glossy black outline. The silver has a lovely sparkly sheen when viewed from different angles.

It is made from an upcycled 12" vinyl LP record. Reduce, reuse, and recycle! This clock is good for the environment.

Treehugger - a Mandala Record Bowl

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 14:57:30 -0500

$62.00
"Treehugger" is an original mandala painting in three shades of green and brown on a recycled 12" vinyl record. The design is outlined with black.

My record bowls are hand painted with acrylics, heated, and lovingly sculpted into unique organic, flower-like forms. I have sealed up the spindle hole so it is water tight and functional. The entire bowl, as well as the original record label on the bottom of the bowl, has been sealed with a glossy finish.

This bowl is great for holding fruit or candy or just as an art object to set on your coffee table. It would make an awesome conversation piece!

The Southwestern - a Mandala Suncatcher made from upcycled CD spacer

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:52:00 -0500

$10.00
Here's a neat, inexpensive way to truly brighten up your home with gorgeous art. These suncatchers have a lovely glow when the sun lights them up, and they also make you happy on a cloudy day.

My Mandala Suncatchers feature my original designs. These designs started out as paintings on vinyl records. Digital photos of the paintings are printed onto transparent decal material and affixed to an upcycled clear plastic CD spacer. I then drill a hole through the disk and attach a suction cup on a hook so it's easy to hang it in the window and let the sun shine in!

In the pictures you can see what they look like hanging in a window with the blue Oregon sky as background.

The suncatchers come packaged in a clear plastic bag. They are 4.75" (12.065 cm) in diameter.

Please note that the suncatchers are designed to hang on the inside, not the outside, of the window, as they might smear if they get wet. Also, there may be some bubbling between the decal and the clear disk, but this will not detract from the beauty of the item. I try my best to smooth out all bubbles but sometimes I can't.

I have more than 30 unique mandala designs that are all available as Mandala Suncatchers. Please see the other listings in my shop for more mandalas, art and accessories made from recycled vinyl records, and the Mod Mandalas Coloring Book.

Lucite - a Painted Roman Record Cuff - size S/M

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:52:00 -0500

$24.00
This colorful, unique wrist cuff is made from part of a recycled vinyl record.

It is hand painted with acrylics in an original design with glossy black and iridescent silver on an aqua colored background. The silver has a sparkly, shimmery effect when viewed from different angles.

It would make a thoughtful, earth-friendly gift, especially for a music lover!

I cut the records to size and shape them around the wrist of a mannequin I have in my studio. That means that it is actually the shape of a real human wrist. The circumference of the mannequin's wrist is about 6.25" all the way around. The cuff is designed for the right arm, but can be worn on the left as well.

All edges have been carefully sanded and smoothed for your comfort. It is very lightweight and comfortable.

Easy to put on and take off, it does have some flexibility and can be slightly stretched "open" as needed.

This cuff comes with a little instruction card for how to resize it if needed. Please note that it is easier to make the cuff smaller than to make it bigger!

The cuff shown is a small-medium size and will fit a wrist with a circumference of about 6 - 6.5 inches/15 -16.5 cm . Please specify in notes to seller if you would prefer the medium - large size (6.5 - 7 inches/16.5 - 18 cm).

The painting is sealed with a clear coat but please note that it may become scratched over time with normal wear and tear.

Thank you!

Peppermint Twist Mirror

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:05:35 -0500

$24.00
Perfect for holiday decorating and fun all year round!

My Peppermint Twist feng shui mirrors are made from vintage 45 rpm vinyl records! Remember listening to "45's"? I love to recycle and upcycle old records into new art and accessories for your home.

The records are hand painted in red and white to resemble a peppermint candy, and embellished with natural sand medium for a crystallized, sugar-coated texture. Yum!

The original record label can still be viewed on the back. Which record will YOU get?

7" in diameter. A round mirror is glued at the back in the center of the record, poking through the 2" round spindle hole. Just the right size to check your lipstick after a fine holiday feast!

It has a self-adhesive mounting square attached to the back to peel and stick for easy hanging. Hang it on the wall, or place it on a display stand as shown in the photos.

Comes in a clear plastic 7" record sleeve.

Feng shui mirrors are used to reflect and attract energy and bring harmony to your home.

Order now for the holidays!

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:21:20 -0500

$65.00
Here's the latest addition to my line of Popsicle Clocks. This design would look great in a child's room.

The clock features my original mandala design, hand painted using high quality acrylics in golden brown, leaf green, bright white, and lavender.

It is made from an upcycled 12" vinyl LP record. Reduce, reuse, and recycle! This clock is good for the environment.

Mandalas can also aid in meditation or make you feel more calm and peaceful - who wouldn't like that?

The painted record is assembled with a new quartz clock movement and simple black clock hands. There's a heavy duty hanger on the back for hanging. The clock takes one "AA" battery (not included).

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:19:52 -0500

The clock features my original psychedelic mandala design, hand painted using high quality acrylics in blue, violet, and crimson.

It is made from an upcycled 12" vinyl LP record. Reduce, reuse, and recycle! This clock is good for the environment.

Sunny Yellow Record Cuff - Handpainted Bracelet made from Recycled Vinyl Record

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:19:52 -0500

$24.00
This colorful, unique wrist cuff is made from part of a recycled vinyl record.

It is hand painted with acrylics in an original design with glossy black on a bright yellow background.

It would make a thoughtful, earth-friendly gift, especially for a music lover!

I cut the records to size and shape them around the wrist of a mannequin I have in my studio. That means that it is actually the shape of a real human wrist. The circumference of the mannequin's wrist is about 6.25" all the way around. The cuff is designed for the right arm, but can be worn on the left as well.

All edges have been carefully sanded and smoothed for your comfort. It is very lightweight and comfortable.

Easy to put on and take off, it does have some flexibility and can be slightly stretched "open" as needed.

This cuff comes with a little instruction card for how to resize it if needed. Please note that it is easier to make the cuff smaller than to make it bigger!

The cuff shown is a small-medium size and will fit a wrist with a circumference of about 6 - 6.5 inches/15 -16.5 cm . Please specify in notes to seller if you would prefer the medium - large size (6.5 - 7 inches/16.5 - 18 cm).

The painting is sealed with a clear coat but please note that it may become scratched over time with normal wear and tear.

Thank you!

Pinkadelic - a Mandala Record Bowl

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:19:52 -0500

Pinkadelic Mandala Record Bowls are created from recycled 12" vinyl records.

The "platters from the past" are upcycled with fresh acrylic paint and an original Eye Pop Art mandala design.

My record bowls are hand painted in original psychedelic patterns, heated, and lovingly sculpted into uniquely organic, flower-like forms. I seal up the spindle holes so the bowls are water tight and functional. I use a polyurethane finish to protect the paint and make the bowls food safe. I leave the original record labels intact (and also sealed with polyurethane) on the bottom of each bowl - which record will YOU get?

Mandala Window Decals - Set of Three

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 22:51:11 -0500

$5.00
Mandala Window Decals feature Christine Claringbold's gorgeous original Eye Pop Art mandala designs!

These mandalas started out as paintings on upcycled 12" vinyl records.

Digital photos of the paintings are printed onto clear decals. The decals are 3.25" in diameter (8.255 cm).

The backing has a grid pattern on it, as you can see in the photos, but when you remove the backing this goes away and leaves you with a lovely, colorful gem to brighten up any window or mirror.

This listing is for THREE window decals. Please let me know in the Notes to Seller what general colors you would like or if you would prefer me to choose three random decals for you. You can choose from blues, pinks, yellows, oranges, green/teals, black & white, red, purple, or multi-colored designs, or a combination of any three of the above. If you have any questions or would like to request specific designs, please convo me.

The decals are inkjet printed and so are designed to hang on the inside, not the outside, of your window, as they will smear if they get wet. For this reason I also recommend that you avoid handling the printed image too much with your fingers. Just stick it in the window and leave it alone, it will give you many months of sunshiny pleasure. Mandalas are used as meditation aids and can help make you feel more relaxed, centered, and peaceful. Enjoy!

Each decal will arrive in its own nifty little package as shown. I have about 40 different designs available - start collecting!

Thanks so much for looking and please check out my other listings for more mandala art and accessories made from recycled vinyl records.

Basic Black Roman Record Cuff

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 22:01:50 -0500

$15.00
"I'm a Roman, not a Greek, and the uniform is black as the void is wide."
--from the song "Dry" (a vampire song) by the band Dartgun.

Get your Roman on and get groovy, goth, and back in black with this unique wrist cuff made from part of a recycled vinyl record. Or as the blog Great Green Goods said, "Put your punk on your wrist! Pop a recycled record cuff on your wrist and skip to the beat!"

It's basic black, so it goes with everything, and it's so cool to see the grooves in the record and know there's music in there! This is a great gift for a music lover or record collector, or maybe even a vampire.

I cut the records to size and shape them around the wrist of a mannequin I have in my studio. That means that it is actually shaped to fit a real human wrist. The cuff is designed for the right arm, but can be worn on the left as well.

All edges have been carefully sanded and smoothed for your comfort. It is very lightweight and comfortable.

Easy to put on and take off, it does have some flexibility and can be slightly stretched "open" as needed. Just snap it on and go!

The last picture shows the Basic Black Roman cuff with some of my brightly colored Eye Candy Cuffs - they go great together so why not get one of each - check my shop for current listings.

My cuffs come with a little instruction card showing how to resize them if needed. Please note that it is easier to make the cuff smaller than to make it bigger. The cuff shown is a small-medium size and will fit a wrist with a circumference of about 6 - 6.5 inches/15 -16.5 cm . Please specify in notes to seller if you would prefer the medium - large size (6.5 - 7 inches/16.5 - 18 cm). The length of the cuff is about 2.5" (6.35 cm).

Please note that the actual grooves of the cuff may look different from the item pictured depending on the record used. Each piece is handmade and unique, so no two will ever be exactly the same. Some of them may have some scratches on the surface - this is part of the beautiful nature of upcycled work.

If you'd like a thinner bracelet style as opposed to the chunky Roman style, or something in between, please look around my shop for other Basic Black options!

Thank you for visiting Eye Pop Art!

Carnation Pink - a Mandala Record Bowl

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:42:59 -0500

$58.00
Carnation Pink Mandala Record Bowls are created from recycled 12" vinyl records. The "platters from the past" are upcycled with fresh acrylic paint and an original Eye Pop Art mandala design which is painted freehand with glossy black acrylic.

My record bowls are hand painted in original psychedelic patterns, heated, and lovingly sculpted into uniquely organic, flower-like forms. I seal up the spindle holes so the bowls are water tight and functional. I use a semi-gloss polyurethane finish to protect the paint and make the bowls food safe. I leave the original record labels intact (and also sealed with polyurethane) on the bottom of each bowl - which record will YOU get?

Lavender Feng Shui Mirror - made from recycled vinyl 45 rpm record - as seen on Good Morning America

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:42:59 -0500

$24.00
*The original Record Mirrors on Etsy!*

Golden oldies never die!

This mirror was made from a recycled vinyl 45 rpm record.

It has been hand-painted with acrylics with an original mandala design in a lavender color. It was outlined with glossy black and highlighted with a darker purple.

Feng shui mirrors are used to reflect and attract energy and bring harmony to your home.

A mirror is adhered at the back of the piece, poking through the 2" spindle hole - just the right size to check your lipstick.

It has a self-adhesive mounting square on the back for hanging. Or, you can use it as a small mirrored jewelry tray if you would prefer not to hang it on the wall.

Comes in a clear plastic record sleeve.

7" in diameter.

Actual records used will vary.

One of my Feng Shui Mirrors was recently seen on Good Morning America, in a segment on eco-friendly decoration tips for the Obama girls' rooms in the White House. Here's a link to the video: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/JustOneThing/story?id=6655945&page=1

Yellow Amoeba - Mandala Suncatcher made from upcycled cd

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:42:58 -0500

$10.00
Here's a neat, inexpensive way to truly brighten up your home with gorgeous art. These suncatchers have a lovely glow when the sun lights them up, and they also make you happy on a cloudy day.

My Mandala Suncatchers feature my original designs. These designs started out as paintings on vinyl records. Digital photos of the paintings are printed onto transparent decal material and affixed to an upcycled clear plastic c.d. I then drill a hole through the disk and attach a suction cup on a hook so it's easy to hang it in the window and let the sun shine in!

In the pictures you can see what they look like hanging in a window with the sky as background.

The suncatchers come packaged in a clear plastic bag. They are 4.75" (12.065 cm) in diameter.

Please note that the images are inkjet printed and the suncatchers are designed to hang on the inside, not the outside, of the window, as they will smear if they get wet.

I have more than 30 unique mandala designs that are all available as Mandala Suncatchers. Please see the other listings in my shop for more mandalas, art and accessories made from recycled vinyl records, and the Mod Mandalas Coloring Book.

Basic Black Classic - a Roman Record Cuff by Eye Pop Art

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:23:01 -0500

$12.00
Roman Record Cuffs are made from upcycled black vinyl LP records.

This one is basic black, so it goes with everything, and it's so cool to see the grooves in the record and know there's music in there! This is a great gift for a music lover or record collector.

I call this the "Classic" style - it's not quite as chunky as the Roman style, but not as thin as the Bracelet style. Classic cuffs are cut so that the original rounded edge of the record curves around the lower part of your wrist and the top of your hand. In the last picture you can see a model wearing one on each wrist for a true Wonder Woman look!

I cut the records to size, and shape them around the wrist of a mannequin I have in my studio. That means that it is actually the shape of a real human wrist. The circumference of the mannequin's wrist is about 6.25" all the way around.

All edges have been carefully sanded and smoothed for your comfort.

Easy to put on and take off, it does have some flexibility and can be slightly stretched "open" as needed.

This cuff comes with a little instruction card for how to resize it if needed. Please note that it is easier to make the cuff smaller than to make it bigger! The cuff shown is a small-medium size and will fit a wrist with a circumference of about 6 - 6.5 inches/15 -16.5 cm . Please specify in notes to seller if you would prefer the medium - large size (6.5 - 7 inches/16.5 - 18 cm).

***PLEASE LET ME KNOW if you are buying it for a guy and if so whether you will need a bigger, manlier size! Thanks!

Also, there may be some bubbling between the decal and the clear disk, but this will not detract from the beauty of the item. I try my best to smooth out all bubbles but sometimes I can't.

Mandala Magnets - Set of 3 - Made from Upcycled Circle Magnets from the Utah Power Company

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:43:51 -0500

$5.00
Mandala Magnets are here!

I found a bunch of round magnets at SCRAP, a program here in Portland, Oregon that diverts tons of materials from being thrown into the landfill by reselling them to the public. Somehow or other they got ahold of these "I Support Green Power" magnets from Utah Power (which you can see in the last photo). I bought 'em up, because I love circles...

Circle, of course is what the Sanskrit word "mandala" means, and mandalas are my middle name!

So I printed stickers of my mandala designs and put them on the magnets to create cool new upcycled love!

The images are all digital photos of my original designs, which started out as paintings on recycled vinyl records.

The magnets are 2.5" in diameter (6.35 cm).

I do think it's sad that Utah Power didn't have enough green power customers to get rid of all their magnets - but at least they are getting a new life now. And I'd like to add that the Eye Pop Art studio runs on green renewable power from Portland General Electric!

This listing is for THREE Mandala Magnets. Please let me know in the Notes to Seller what general colors you would like or if you would prefer me to choose three random magnets for you. You can choose from blues, pinks, yellows, oranges, green/teals, black & white, red, purple, or multi-colored designs, or a combination of any three of the above. If you have any questions or would like to request specific designs, please convo me.

If you would prefer to buy just ONE Mandala Magnet, please see this listing: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18491003

Thank you!

$24.00
Roman Record Cuffs are made from upcycled vinyl records.

The Platinum cuff is hand painted with acrylics using a mixture of Payne's Gray and iridescent silver.

The circumference of the mannequin's wrist is about 6.25" all the way around. The cuff is designed for the right arm, but can be worn on the left as well.

All edges have been carefully sanded and smoothed for your comfort. It is very lightweight and comfortable.

This cuff comes with a little instruction card for how to resize it if needed. Please note that it is easier to make the cuff smaller than to make it bigger!

The cuff shown is a small-medium size and will fit a wrist with a circumference of about 6 - 6.5 inches/15 -16.5 cm .

This fabulous sculptural bowl was created from a recycled 12" vinyl record featuring my original mandala painting.

It is a geometric line design in a funky pattern radiating out from the center of the record. The design is hand painted in glossy black on a slate gray/blue background, and highlighted with iridescent silver, which has a lovely, sparkly sheen when viewed from different angles.

My record bowls are hand painted with acrylics, heated, and lovingly sculpted into unique organic, flower-like forms. I have sealed up the spindle hole so it is water tight and functional. The entire inside of the bowl, as well as the original record label on the bottom of the bowl, has been sealed with a glossy finish.

This bowl is great for holding fruit or candy or just as an art object to set on your coffee table. It would make an awesome conversation piece!

Flurry - Original Mandala Painting on Recycled Vinyl Record

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:41:42 -0500

$95.00
This intricately detailed, original mandala was hand painted with acrylics.

It is painted in pinks, purples, and blues with white and iridescent silver. The silver has a sparkly, shimmery effect when viewed from different angles.

This design reminds me of a mad, spinning, flurry of snow on a cold winter day.

The mandala is painted on a 12" recycled vinyl record.

It is easy to hang with a nail through the spindle hole. You can also spin it on your turntable (without the needle) for an eye-popping psychedelic treat.

This painted record is #26 in a series of 35.

This is an original painting. It is signed, dated, and numbered.

My mandalas are all drawn freehand without the use of any special tools or measuring devices. These are original designs, hand drawn (NOT computer generated).

Would you like this record to be made into a clock or a bowl? Please convo me for details.

Rainbow Mandala Record Bowls are created from recycled 12" vinyl records. The "platters from the past" are upcycled with fresh acrylic paint and an original Eye Pop Art mandala design which is painted freehand with acrylic.

Bumblebee - Mandala Suncatcher made from upcycled CD

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 14:40:11 -0400

$10.00
Here's a neat, inexpensive way to truly brighten up your home with gorgeous art. These suncatchers have a lovely glow when the sun lights them up, and they also make you happy on a cloudy day.

My Mandala Suncatchers feature my original designs. These designs started out as paintings on vinyl records. Digital photos of the paintings are printed onto transparent decal material and affixed to an upcycled clear plastic CD. I then drill a hole through the disk and attach a suction cup on a hook so it's easy to hang it in the window and let the sun shine in!

In the pictures you can see what they look like hanging in a window with the sky as background.

The suncatchers come packaged in a clear plastic bag. They are 4.75" (12.065 cm) in diameter.

The clear CD spacers are donated to me by various local CD/DVD replication companies who would otherwise be throwing them into the landfill.

Please note that the images are inkjet printed and the suncatchers are designed to hang on the inside, not the outside, of the window, as they will smear if they get wet.

I have more than 30 unique mandala designs that are all available as Mandala Suncatchers. Please see the other listings in my shop for more mandalas, art and accessories made from recycled vinyl records, and the Mod Mandalas Coloring Book.

Slate Gray Feng Shui Mirror - made from recycled vinyl 45 rpm record - as seen on Good Morning America

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:24:48 -0400

$24.00
*The original Record Mirrors on Etsy!*

Golden oldies never die!

This mirror was made from a recycled vinyl 45 rpm record.

It has been hand-painted with acrylics with an original mandala design in a slate gray color. It was outlined with glossy black and highlighted with iridescent silver, which has a lovely, sparkly sheen when viewed from different angles.

Feng shui mirrors are used to reflect and attract energy and bring harmony to your home.

A mirror is adhered at the back of the piece, poking through the 2" spindle hole - just the right size to check your lipstick.

It has a self-adhesive mounting square on the back for hanging. Or, you can use it as a small mirrored jewelry tray if you would prefer not to hang it on the wall.

Comes in a clear plastic record sleeve.

7" in diameter.

Actual records used will vary.

One of my Feng Shui Mirrors was recently seen on Good Morning America, in a segment on eco-friendly decoration tips for the Obama girls' rooms in the White House. Here's a link to the video: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/JustOneThing/story?id=6655945&page=1

Maraschino Twist - A Cherry Red Record Cuff made from Recycled Vinyl Record

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:52:02 -0400

$24.00
This colorful, unique wrist cuff is made from part of a recycled vinyl record.

It is hand painted with acrylics in an original design with glossy black on a bright red background.

It would make a thoughtful, earth-friendly gift, especially for a music lover!

I cut the records to size and shape them around the wrist of a mannequin I have in my studio. That means that it is actually the shape of a real human wrist. The circumference of the mannequin's wrist is about 6.25" all the way around. The cuff is designed for the right arm, but can be worn on the left as well.

All edges have been carefully sanded and smoothed for your comfort. It is very lightweight and comfortable.

Easy to put on and take off, it does have some flexibility and can be slightly stretched "open" as needed.

This cuff comes with a little instruction card for how to resize it if needed. Please note that it is easier to make the cuff smaller than to make it bigger!

The cuff shown is a small-medium size and will fit a wrist with a circumference of about 6 - 6.5 inches/15 -16.5 cm . Please specify in notes to seller if you would prefer the medium - large size (6.5 - 7 inches/16.5 - 18 cm).

The painting is sealed with a clear coat but please note that it may become scratched over time with normal wear and tear.

Thank you!

Hot Pink Mandala Pinwheel made from Recycled Vinyl Record

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:51:45 -0400

$58.00
Whee! Mandala Pinwheels are here!

The pinwheels are made from recycled vinyl records. They are hand painted with acrylics in my original design. The painted records have been sliced and shaped into a pinwheel design, then mounted onto painted metal stakes and finished with a groovy vintage radio knob. ___________________________________________________________

Mandala Pinwheels were made in collaboration with my friend Anitra Cameron of Coffee Pot People - please visit her Etsy shop at http://coffeepotpeople.etsy.com. Anitra provided the stakes, the radio knobs, and the bits of this & that which were used to put it all together, as well as the idea for creating the pinwheel shapes. Thanks for your help, Anitra!
______________________________________________________

I made the Mandala Pinwheels (with Anitra's help) for Live Debris 2009, a traveling series of events and installations dedicated to sharing and establishing new reuse traditions as a way of reducing stigmas around garbage, poverty and street culture. More info here: http://redsemillaroja.org

The pinwheels were installed on the Eastbank Esplanade along the Willamette River waterfront in Portland, OR for the Live Debris event. Now you can have one for your yard or garden!
___________________________________________________________

A little more info:

The pinwheels are designed to go outdoors. Just stick it into the ground and enjoy! They will turn and spin a little bit in the wind and provide a beautiful, colorful decoration for your outdoor space. (They make cool shadows too!)

I recommend that you keep them in partial shade because we all know what happens when records get left out in the hot sun!

They have been coated with polyurethane to help protect the painting as well as the original record label which is still visible on the back of each piece. They will hold up pretty well outdoors, and I have left them in hot sun, but depending on how hot it gets where you live, you might want to just make sure they aren't exposed to super extreme temperatures.

The pinwheels are about 12" in diameter (30.48 cm) and about 3' tall (91.44 cm) from the top of the spinner to the bottom of the metal stake.

Silvery Blue Mandala Pinwheel made from Recycled Vinyl Record

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:29:59 -0400

$58.00
Whee! Mandala Pinwheels are here!

The pinwheels are made from recycled vinyl records. They are hand painted with acrylics in my original design. The painted records have been sliced and shaped into a pinwheel design, then mounted onto painted metal stakes and finished with a groovy vintage radio knob. ___________________________________________________________

Mandala Pinwheels were made in collaboration with my friend Anitra Cameron of Coffee Pot People - please visit her Etsy shop at http://coffeepotpeople.etsy.com. Anitra provided the stakes, the radio knobs, and the bits of this & that which were used to put it all together, as well as the idea for creating the pinwheel shapes. Thanks for your help, Anitra!
______________________________________________________

I made the Mandala Pinwheels (with Anitra's help) for Live Debris 2009, a traveling series of events and installations dedicated to sharing and establishing new reuse traditions as a way of reducing stigmas around garbage, poverty and street culture. More info here: http://redsemillaroja.org

The pinwheels were installed on the Eastbank Esplanade along the Willamette River waterfront in Portland, OR for the Live Debris event. Now you can have one for your yard or garden!

___________________________________________________________

A little more info:

The pinwheels are designed to go outdoors. Just stick it into the ground and enjoy! They will turn and spin a little bit in the wind and provide a beautiful, colorful decoration for your outdoor space. (They make cool shadows too!)

I recommend that you keep them in partial shade because we all know what happens when records get left out in the hot sun!

They have been coated with polyurethane to help protect the painting as well as the original record label which is still visible on the back of each piece. They will hold up pretty well outdoors, and I have left them in hot sun, but depending on how hot it gets where you live, you might want to just make sure they aren't exposed to super extreme temperatures.

The pinwheels are about 12" in diameter (30.48 cm) and about 3' tall (91.44 cm) from the top of the spinner to the bottom of the metal stake.

Sienna - a Mandala Record Bowl

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 19:02:12 -0400

$58.00
Sienna Mandala Record Bowls are created from recycled 12" vinyl records. The "platters from the past" are upcycled with fresh acrylic paint and an original Eye Pop Art mandala design which is painted freehand with acrylic.

My record bowls are hand painted in original psychedelic patterns, heated, and lovingly sculpted into uniquely organic, flower-like forms. I seal up the spindle holes so the bowls are water tight and functional.

I use a semi-gloss polyurethane finish to protect the paint and make the bowls food safe. I leave the original record labels intact (and also sealed with polyurethane) on the bottom of each bowl - which record will YOU get?

Eye Pop Art bowls are fantastic for holding fruit, candy, candles, trinkets, or anything your heart desires. They are bright, colorful art objects to set on your coffee table. They are eco-friendly and make a great conversation piece! Surprise your guests when you tell them to flip the bowl over and see the very interesting recycled material that it was made from!

Most of us have fond memories of the days when all we listened to was records - let the music live forever with a Mandala Record Bowl.

(Hand wash gently with a damp cloth, air dry. Please do not put in the dishwasher, oven, or microwave!)

Flower - a Popsicle Clock - Original Mandala Painting on Upcycled Vinyl Record

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 19:43:29 -0400

$65.00
I'm calling these Popsicle Clocks because the clock hands look like Popsicle sticks, and the colors are sweet, juicy, mouthwatering, and refreshing.

The clock features my original mandala design, hand painted using high quality acrylics in magenta, violet, and yellow.

It is made from an upcycled 12" vinyl LP record. Reduce, reuse, and recycle! This clock is good for the environment. Buying my clock is a great step towards going "green" for your next interior decorating purchase, or wedding or housewarming gift. Mandalas can also aid in meditation or make you feel more calm and peaceful - who wouldn't like that?

The painted record is assembled with a new quartz clock movement and simple white clock hands. There's a heavy duty hanger on the back for hanging. The clock takes one "AA" battery (not included).

12" (30.48 cm) in diameter.

Thanks for visiting Eye Pop Art! Please see my other listings for more eye-popping originals: clocks, bowls, and wrist cuffs made from vinyl records, Mandala Suncatchers made from upcycled CD spacers, and the Mod Mandalas Coloring Book.
