My OperaArt on the Floor

Damn, I'm getting good. My goal thus far has been to turn a basic construction idea into an artistic endeavor. Here's some words from Concrete Network:
"Stained concrete combines the best of both worlds: beauty and functionality. Concrete staining imparts a luxurious richness that can't be achieved by any other coloring medium while leaving behind permanent, flake-proof color. What's more, stain can even be applied to most existing concrete, making it an ideal solution for revitalizing lackluster surfaces. A concrete floor offers numerous options for interior rooms including nearly limitless designs, colors, and even health benefits. Concrete can be so uniquely designed or so naturally colored that it blends seamlessly with other elements in a room. Oftentimes, you don't even realize it's a concrete floor you're standing on..."
Next is portaits in concrete. Here's a slideshow of my latest job. (a condo in the Central Business District). This concrete floor was previously hidden by carpet. We started by cutting in a border and tiles. This was followed by a sprayable overlay. Then we blended a few acid stains together to get the colors and applied two coats of high gloss sealer to add depth and durability. Check out the results!

actually, it probably won't get done, but still a great idea!
