Snow, Creations, and, Questions

I've been inside making these,

because this has been happening outside.

Yep, lots of snow.

So, what better way to spend my days, than creating little pieces of art.

I'm playing around with various weathered, and, rusty paint finishes.

Okay, I want to answer a couple questions I've been asked about my metal creations.

I don't use a machine to cut metal.  I do it all by hand. Sometimes I use tin snips, sometimes I use one of my many vintage industrial scissors.  I always sand the edges smooth.

As far as my finishes go, I experiment, A LOT.  If you're a long time reader, you know I'm a bit of a mad scientist.  Most of my work is artistic, not specific.  I use a little bit of everything, including some of the paint recipes from the Farragoz course.  I may use it alone, or, with some of my own mixtures, and, solutions.

The graphics in this post can be found at The Graphics Fairy.

I transferred the lettering you see, using the blender pen method.  You can find my tutorial HERE.

There are tons of tutorials in cyberspace.  Experiment with a few, and, be a bit of a mad scientist yourself.  Creativity requires some risk, and, the finished product may be a pleasant surprise.

I'll be adding these little creations to my Etsy.
