Follow my records and me in the magical land of IG

I recently made an Instagram page just for my records, and I would love for you to follow it.

https://www.instagram.com/recordsbyrachro/

You can also follow my more chaotic Instagram account, theangrykitten.  It has art things, but also people things, place things, and whatever things.

Follow both! I hope to see you there.  We can be instagramigos (yes, I just made that word up).

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!

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.

Watercolor Rainbow Mandala with Mystery Creature in the Middle

I love this mandala.  I'm not sure whether the flying creature is a butterfly, dragonfly, bird, or alien life form.  That's up to you. But it is colorful and happy, and deserves to be framed and hung on a wall to inspire freedom.

It is for sale on my Big Cartel shop.  Please click on this link to view it there and purchase it.

Red Flower Mandala

Not a record, but what it lacks in circular shape, it more than makes up for in color!  This is a cute little flower painting, created with the brightest ---almost glowing---RED, along with vibrant blues and greens.  The background edges are a very deep, saturated blue.  It is painted on wood and has a hanger attached to the back.  It measures 4.75"x6.5".  It is available for sale on Big Cartel. Here is a link, which will take you to my store:

One of my watercolor mandalas

One of my featured pieces of art being offered this weekend at BAAMfest.  My records, nebulas, and other various assorted unique objects will be there in the sun and the fun.

Love (and maybe geese) will Steer the Stars

This is another painting of a 5th Dimension album, featuring a song I love, Aquarius.

I think I am actually feeling my mind's true liberation now.  It feels good.

And now with extra birds and flowers.

Thank you hippie people, for writing this awesome song from Hair, and letting The 5th Dimension record such a fabulous edition of it.

I smell a theater medley.

Attention, Color Junkies

If you love color, then this post is for you.  This used to be Great Themes from The Classics.

But now it is IN YOUR FACE with lots of green and red and pink and lemon yellow. I hope you like it.  It has kind of become one of my favorites lately.

Glitter in the gallery

 

I love this one. Lime green glitter and soft red design.  This one wasn't planned.  It was improvised and I think it came out rather deliciously.  I love when art just happens. It now lives in a gallery in Houston.

Say it correctly in Russian

 

Here, above, is the strange baby cousin to the other Russian language records.  It is 7-inches in diameter, just like a regular 45 rpm record.  But the inner label and spindle hole are the size of a 12-inch LP.  Weird and neat!  You don't see that everyday.

This was called "Say it Correctly in Russian."  Well, okay.

Your lonesome nights are over

This record used to be Roger Williams' Songs of the Fabulous Fifties.  It featured the songs: Mister Sandman, Mona Lisa, Goodnight Irene, and Love is a Many-Splendored Thing.

This teal and brown paisley record went to live, appropriately, with a man who really loves oldies radio.

Hawaii, instrumentally yours...

 

 

Pink!  Hawaii!  Flowers!  Wheeeee!

 



Buddah Records presents

 

This is one of my favorites.  It was painted as an anniversary present for my good friends, Amy and Tiger.

It lives in Los Angeles.  Wanna see it close up?  Sure you do.

 





Syntonic Research, Inc. Environments 10. Side 1: English Meadow

Record reads:

Syntonic Research, Inc.  Environments 10.  Side 1:  English Meadow:

"Bird should be heard, as if from a distance.  Rushing water should just barely be heard."

(*Fun Rachro fact:  My mother used to listen to this sort of ambient, biofeedback-ey, sound effect stuff, back in the 70's.  She also had a record with whales talking, and swore that she could understand them. Oh......you hippies...)

ANYWAY, this record has gone to live with a newlywed couple, several states away.





Arteries, Veins, and Theater

I painted this record for the annual Theatre Off Jackson fundraising auction.  The songs on this 10-inch record were all about love and the heart, so it inspired me to paint in red/blue heart colors.



Blue and living in Hempstead, Texas

 The blue record above was painted for a man who *really* likes the color blue.

I turned this design into some really cool business cards.

The Towering Inferno: An Architect's Dream

 

The record above was formerly the Warner Brothers soundtrack to The Towering Inferno.

Whoever owned it previously circled the side number and the track entitled, "An Architect's Dream."

We may never know why...



Magic Sounds of the Islands

The record above is base-coated with a super-glittery red, and painted with a "5 point plumeria" motif.

It was inspired by the pink Hawaiian label, full of the magic sounds of the islands.
