In Wolf's book,
Lifting the Curtain on Design, he speaks of finding objects and having them mounted on a base by a vendor at the Bangkok Sunday Market. I would love to have access to that resource but since I don't see a trip to Bangkok in my near future, short of making one myself I have never found a source to make one for me at a reasonable price.
Then, I saw these examples that seem much more manageable to pull off.
Either mount the piece on a plain lucite base:
Or on a wood or steel base:
I think I may finally be able to take on this project.
very cool. Guatamala is one my list!
