CTBlades Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Today's effort, "Bird on a Wire" wall hanging using the walls paint as the backdrop, scrap square tube, barbed wire and some sheet metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyiorn Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 CT very nice. Creative. I could give you enough wire to make tons of those if you want to do some walking on the edges of the property Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBlades Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Thank you Jimmy, I was able to pick up a rather large roll of the wire this past Monday at the scrapyard. Funny I had been dying to get my hands on some too! Who knows what else I'll do with it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Another nice piece Ray. Though it's awfully "normal" for you isn't it? I like the frame the least though. Wood textured flat stock for the verticals and I'm not sure what for the horizontal components. Heck I'd be wracking my brain for the horizontals, nothing comes to mind at the moment. I'd just like something other than sq. tubing all round a lot better. Of course that's my opinion what the customer says with the purse is what really counts. Frosty The Lucky.

ThomasPowers Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I'd go with barn wood for the frame to keep the ag look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Really nice CT. Great shadow picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBlades Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Frosty normal? You got me there bud....plain and simple yes, hell it took a whole 25 mintutes to do lol. As for the frame, that's just what I happen to have. If I had some barnwood I think embedding the on the inner edges would be pretty neat but alas, got none. Thanks Das, as usual just messing around trying new things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Frosty normal? Heck no, Frosty isn't even average within a realistic margin of error. Bird(s) on a wire is a good marketable theme. Even if normal isn't. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBlades Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 lol I see, so your not marketable then I take it lmao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I thought about it but hadn't asked. How'd you make the bird? Plasma cutter? It's a beautiful outline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree some weathered timber would have made a better frame but you have to go with what you have to hand. Nice idea with the barbed wire, and the shadows look good. And how did you get away with using the h word in that first line above? I got chastised by admin for doing that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTBlades Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Thanks Aus, as for the H word I don't know. I really don't see any issue with that word but I will not use it again. Heck I got my hand slapped and lost a point because of a piece I did and posted awhile ago, The admin called it "inappropriate behavior". I just figure it's not art unless they say it's art lol. Das, your overthinking it man, your like wanting to play with power when simple good old fashion heavy duty hand held metal shears will do the trick...lol! I'll give you that Frosty, you are plenty likable...:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
