You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute.

I'm almost finished painting this. Pretty sure no one has a mailbox like ours.  I'm hoping it will magically attract more fun and useful things to get mailed to us.   Checks and large amounts of money are good, too.  I'm not picky.

Gotta get that boom boom pow

Finally done.  I started this record a long time ago, but I recently decided it needed a little extra boom boom POW.  And now it's shiny and colorful like candy.  It's available for purchase.  If interested, please message me on facebook on the Records by Rachro page. Thanks!

Neon skies, tiny paintings

I've been painting a few tiny Northern Lights lately!  They glow under black light and are really fun. Seeing the Aurora Borealis is on my bucket list.  I don't know when I'll have the means to travel to Iceland and sleep under one of those glass-roofed yurt things. But in the mean time, I'll paint them while the mood strikes.

These all have homes.  But I will make more!  Some of the photos show what the paintings look like under black light. WOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOO!


All of these small paintings were made by doing an abstract "poured painting" underneath with fluid acrylic techniques that included neon/black light paint.  If you look closely, you can see the "cells" underneath the painting.  They were then embellished with more neon paint and black paint to form the silhouette terrain, trees, and stars.

Tiny Aurora Borealis black light painting

Under black light it looks like this:

I painted a tiny painting of the Northern Lights for Django Jay.  It flows under black light and is pretty effing cool, I think 😊.  The under painting was a poured painting with neon paint. The northern lights were painted with more neon paint, plus black for the treescape.

It's 4" square.  Big thing in small space.  Molto en parvo.

Can't. Stop. Laughing. At. This.

Because it's true.

Check out my new visitor world map!

Hello, fellow space travelers.

There is a new page added to this site, called "Where are You?"

Click on the header tab to see a tiny and cute animated globe that shows where you are.

Here's a shortcut link:

Where are You?

(*Just in case you forgot. I know there's always a time of day where I have to question where I am and what's happening.)

Also:  FYI, you are moving 530 miles per hour, while simply sitting in your chair.
So.........yeah.

Green Cactus in the Summer Rain

***SOLD!***

Look at these teeny, tiny, cute-as-heck cactii!  Here is a 1" x 2" Green Cactus in the Summer Rain tiny landscape, created on a durable magnet. It is resined with jewelry-grade resin and the sides are coated in copper paint.

More of my tiny Rachro Flowscapes are available if you go to my Records by Rachro facebook page.  They are each available for purchase (shipping available domestically within the US), and each domino has a super strong neodymium magnet, so it will definitely and reliably hold several things up on your refrigerator at once!  Those little magnets are mighty and I wanted something strong, functional, and high quality to go with my tiny flowscapes.

Purple River

This domino is so vibrant, it's hard to accurately show it with a photo.  Sometimes the colors just don't translate digitally. But let me tell you:  It is very PURPLE, light GREEN, and BLUE!  Come into my fantasy world, where the landscape can be purple and look like colorful candy.

Each domino is available for purchase (they are each around the $8.00 US range, plus shipping and handling, and that is an incredible deal for a handmade piece of functional art!) and can be shipped domestically within the United States.  If you have any questions, you can just message me on the Records by Rachro Facebook page.

Thank you for looking!

Orange Juice, Lemonade,and Limeade

This hand painted outlet cover is so juicy!  It is so bright and citrus-ey in person.  If you love exciting and juicy colors, this is the one.  It has sort of a marble or stone look too.  I just love it.  It has a refreshing orange juice/lemonade sort of look

Electric Rainbow

Here is another Rachro outlet cover, hand painted by me!  It is vibrant and beautiful; Even moreso in person.

Listen: Your appliances want to speak to you, and through this decorative electric outlet cover, now they finally have the means to say they don't want to be ignored or fade into the background anymore. They can now say, "Here I am.  Plug me in.  Turn me on, right here next to this couch."

Bland is boring. Don't be boring.

Blue Ocean and Sand

Here is a relaxing blue-themed landscape, hand painted by yours truly on an electrical outlet cover.  I sort of imagined myself at a beach, standing off to the side and up a little hill, looking at pebbles and wild grass.

Here's my question: Can an electrical outlet in your living room transport you to another place and time?  Yes.  Yes, it can and I am proving that fact right now as you are reading this and indulging in my beach fantasy.

Poppieeeeeeezzzzz will make them sleeeeeepyyyyy (and let electrical appliances function)

Oh, summer...I love growing things in my garden.

I painted this electrical outlet cover with some bright and colorful red and pink classic poppies.  The baby poppie details in this piece are so tiny---some as small as the point of a pin.  I really enjoyed creating the small details.

Tiny Rachro Flowscapes

Come with me on a journey through time and spaaaaaaaace...into my tiny abstract ink landscapes---RACHRO FLOWSCAPES.  I have been painting miniature ink pieces on repurposed domino tiles and they are backed with super strong neodymium magnets, so they will hold up all kinds of things on your fridge with ease, like buttah!

When I painted these, I imagined myself becoming really tiny and strolling through each vivid landscape as it appeared in front of my eyes while the ink was drying.  The details on each one are almost microscopically small, and the photos don't really capture their magic due to the reflective shininess, but it is there and I am in love with every single little fantasy world that came out of these pieces.  Some have flowers or rain; Some have canyons or mountains;  Some are Martian landscapes; Some have purple rain. They are all a little surreal and have an abstract/impressionist/fantasy quality.

My altered domino art magnets are topped with high-quality jewelry grade resin, so they look like glass and will not yellow over time.  So smooth. (They feel really good in your hand, I have to selfishly admit.)  The sides are painted for a decorative finish, usually metallic copper or black.

Each domino is available for purchase and can be shipped domestically within the United States.  If you have any questions, you can just message me on the Facebook page.

You are invited to go to my Facebook page.  Here is the link to the album created just for my dominos. Thank you for looking! Wheeeeeeeee!

My Mind in Sky

Cute, colorful, and abstract---here is Steve Winwood's single Arc of a Diver.

This 45 has gone to live in another state, with some other vinyl friends.

The Making of Moody Blue

Well, howdy Elvis fans!  This tasty blue vinyl record, Moody Blue, was painted for a person who loves the color purple and who lives in Scotland.  I think this mandala is soooooooothing to the eye!

More photos that show detail will be added later, but for your viewing pleasure and entertainment, here is a video showing the design process, starting from scratch!

Bonus:  accompanied by Pearl Jam

I will always love you

Unfortunately, I didn't get a ton of pictures of this record.  I kept the design a simple black and white color scheme, because Whitney's voice was so lovely and pure - it didn't need anything else.

Now this record lives in a sunny and beautiful mountain community.  It was also the inspiration for a mural that I painted on a swimming pool wall, using colors that matched the house exterior.

Look at how rad this mural came out!  I did the elephant mandala last year.
