Where, and How in the World are Fraglets Art compositions adding bits of beauty?

Fraglets Art compositions are everywhere in the world...adorning sides of buildings, lampposts, trains, bridges. You name it, if it’s a metal that contains iron, it can be a canvas for a traveling Fraglets® ART palette.

You may be traveling in California, France, Boston or NY, the Dominican Republic or Cuba - not to mention Mexico, Bolivia, Antarctica, Iceland - and find one of my compositions (or one that has been transformed by someone else).

For my own enjoyment, everywhere I travel, I bring my little pocket tin of Fraglets colors and shapes, and when I see metal, I've got another canvas to create on!  Some are permanent displays of the “permanently adjustable” art, while others are temporary. Think of it as removable graffiti.

​Funny thing is, it's rarely removed. Certainly played with, but it does stay put. One small composition, (below) I visited a small town in France in 2013.  A few years later, I walked down the same street, and voila! It was still there, but clearly adjusted. I visited again in 2023, and it's still there. I always leave extras!

A few places I've left or installed my mini compositions
Some, I've asked permission to leave them.  A few times, when I've worried someone might get upset (e.g., at the Louvre in Paris or the Met in NYC), I put up my composition, photographed it, and removed the pieces to place them elsewhere.
