Morning All
Once again my partner in craft, Fuzzy
Designs, has been rifling through his pile of scrap and come up with a new
batch of creations – I’ll let him explain what he’s been doing.
The Clocks: these are both made from
motorcycle sump plates and I thought the large circular hole (which originally
housed an oil filter) could accommodate a decent sized clock face instead. Both
have pearl effect paint on them which really comes to life in the sunshine –
the “Z” logo on the green clock is a reference to the Kawasaki bike that
donated the parts.
The Underwater Pliers: both of these
went through my tried and tested method of transformation: namely a thorough
clean up, then scales and fins were engraved and finally suitable glass paint
was applied over the top. The rays of light on the dark piece are actually
luminous paint so they have an eerie glow at night.
Mondrian No. II: my first homage to
Mondrian was so popular that I’d always promised myself I’d do another when the
right spanners turned up. As you can see, I finally found some (I have no idea
what they were originally designed for) and in very short order I had finished
this off. Hopefully this one will be as popular as the first!
Flowers and Sunshine: Finding three
small spanners for the flowers was easy, finding a suitably small sprocket for
the sun was a lot more difficult. Patience paid off in the end though and I’m
pleased with the result – simple but effective!
Well I love them and I hope you do
too and I am sure that there will be more creations from Fuzzy Designs in due
course.
