The Return of Spanner Art


From Fuzzy Designs

Although most of my Spanner Art has involved decorating spanners themselves, sometimes they don’t need more than a polish to take their place in a creation.

In this case, the spanner in question had obviously led a hard life (one set of jaws had been welded and machined for some unknown purpose) but polishing it brought out a wonderful shine that seemed a shame to cover.

So, instead I simply mounted it at an angle and worked some pinstriping around it in contrasting colours. The biggest headache was getting the pinstriping accurately mirrored on both sides of the spanner but a piece of tracing paper proved invaluable in sorting that out!

I attended the 1st craft fair for the year on Saturday so if called in then I hope you have a great time and found something nice to take home.  We would love to hear your views also, what you are making?
