Industrial chic assemblage

This sculpture I just completed is an assemblage of random bits of scrap steel I have gathered over recent months.  The metal has come from, a garage door opener, paper shredder, chain, and various hardware items.  This Industrial Chic Metal Wall Art Assemblage measures 13 inches long by 9 inches in width.  It stands one inch from the wall to cast interesting shadows on the wall.

Cutting straight cuts in metal with angle grinder


Sometimes you need as close to perfect straight cut in metal but you might not have the money or facilities for a large metal brake.  Well, believe it or not, you can make reasonably straight cuts with an angle grinder.  With this relatively simple and expensive tool, you can make reasonably square cuts for making fixtures or metal furniture frames.

Abstract self portrait

Ok so it might not like exactly like me but it is an abstract generalization.  None the less, it would be a fun, festive, and funky addition to your decor.  This abstract metal face wall art is painted in bold metallic colors and glossy lacquers to make a statement on your wall. Check it out in my Etsy shop today!

Dancing dude candle holder


Just completed my latest work of art.  It is a dancing, partying blue dude with wild hair.  Oh did I mention he is also a metal candle holder?  You can view more information in this Etsy listing that I just uploaded moments ago.

You can remove dried acrylic paint from your favorite shirt!!



In the photo above is a pair of shorts that I wear and it has dried yellow acrylic paint on it.  I am here to inform you that if you have a garment that has met a simular fate, all hope is not lost.  In fact, in about nine out ten times, you will be able to rub that stain with rubbing alcohol.  In case that does not work, and you want to break out the heavy artillary, then by all means check out an article I wrote  about 5 liquids that can remove dried acrylic paint.  Otherwise, check out how I rubbed out the paint with 91% isopropyl alcohol.



No the shorts did not fade, that was just a little different lighting during photography.  When the wet spot  dried, you could not tell there EVER was paint there.
