I just got the guitar man, the archer, and the owl. Can anyone confirm if there were more available or was it just those three to start with? If there are others, I want to collect them.......can anyone help me out?

Glad I've the set of 3 - Triptych

I wasn't aware there was more than two... thats all they had for sale at the gig we attended.

I just need to make some 'in the style of Tin Shed' frames for them.... maybe 1 frame with a professionally cut matt board.... maybe three frames. I wouldn't be happy with 'off the shelf' frames... I reckon they need an 'in character' framing.

More I think about it the more I like the idea of recycled fencing boards... or rough sawn Jarrah, but getting that timber isn't so easy now I've moved from West Coast. The red Jarrah colour would look good... not hard to make a 'pit sawn' effect. and water affected weathered hardwood fencing will have grey shades and natural timber colour on cut edges. Just a matter of cutting a glazing rebate with a router... not difficult.

These are an 'odd' size... just under an A4 sheet, more so the height than width. Thats cool, makes for an A3 size standard frame with correctly proportioned matt board [you have the bottom margin about 5 - 10% wider to correct an optical illusion which makes the bottom edge look smaller and/or look like the artwork is falling out of the frame]

The next problem we have here is a lack of wall space for all the artwork.
I have a plan.... been buying large high powered rated speakers.. the big Electro Voice and Cerwin Vega are LOUD even without being connected to the 7.1 channel x 125W amp I've got ready to go. I could use a decent Yamaha or Crown power Amp to drive em at 250W if need be. Unbelievably LOUD even driven by a 35W stereo Amp.... admittedly that does have a high headroom capacity. I'll use the 35W amp to drive sets of old Wharfdale and Coral boxes that I don't want to blow using high current in another section of the house... I plan to run AV line level signal from one big master processor Amp to the smaller using passive extender boxes & cheap low loss Cat5e or Cat6 network cable.
See, the thing is, Blue and I are in our 50's... and her daughters are the ones that complain the music being too loud. Wait till they here what the big buggers sound like! This should have them moving out into their own place soon enough... and so, we get another 3 rooms worth of wall space to use for artworks!
Yes... we have a plan.
