Abstract
Works of art made from strips of material, preferably wooden lath strips, are mass-produced by sawing the lath strips to the desired size of the art work, painting or staining the sawed pieces to the desired color or shade, dye-stamping the stained or cut strips to their final shape, assembling the shaped pieces into the final design or picture of the art work, and fixing, by nailing, stapling, or glueing, the assembled pieces to a suitable backing. Preferably, the same strips of material are used to form the frame and side supports for the final product.
