Skull and Cross Spanners

[outofthefire]

I seem to have been making hearts and flower type things a lot recently so I decided to balance things out and make some art to go on my toolbox at work.

Stuck it in the oven for 20 minutes and melted a candle on it and polished it up, its coloured up nicely.

Cool, that's given me an idea what to do with the alien head I made

 

[chunkolini]

Thats cool, makes for a stylish tool box and might scare off the Borrowers.
How about a wreath of barbed wire?
That might get a bit snaggy during transit mind.

Really wish i was artistic enough to do something like that.
I can have good ideas, but never seem to get in onto paper if you know what i mean.

Well done, really like that.

Monkey mark dont bother with paper, I cant draw for a toffee but can do it in my head, everybody is artistic.
Have a go and see what happens.

Seconded. My workshops full of half finished projects (nothing is unfinished) sometimes I loose my confidence, sometimes I have to learn something new, sometimes i've spent so long and so much work getting to a point that i'm scared of ****** it up. So I chuck it in a corner and either restart one of the other projects or start a new one but eventually they get done. I'd achieve nothing without trying though. Your bound to make mistakes but for me that's part of the learning process.

My favourite quote regards the arts.
'A true artist never finishes his work; he just abandons it'
John Paul Valery.
Struck a massive chord with me when I read that.
