Framing and setting |2:10 AM| I've got a couple of art projects in the pipe. Big, effing, surprise. Ask me about dyeing paper with tea, and getting shit from a book binder.
I've got a ticket, a cog, and some pictures from a recent camping trip.
I've got a map from Bonnaroo, a couple of photos, but no ticket. Apparently they got chucked after a move, which is a shame. I could almost certainly recreate one if I got some reflective paper, and it would serve the same purpose.
I want to put these items into small frames, and I don't want to pay some jerk with thick scissors for it.
A while back ago I posted about my knick knacks, mementos, and trophies.
I rarely decorated my walls, it gave me the feeling that I could leave whatever domicile in which I was dwelling more quickly. In reality it just made the place less like home. (That reminds me I need to go get those big framed pictures from Ryan's place) I want to frame some of this stuff up, and build a knick knack case. My previous attempts at carpentry have been very much in my style. I was learning while doing them, the end result is functional but not elegant. Often, my blood is somewhere on it.
My trophy case would probably need to be wall mountable, and I'd need to run wires for internal lamps. I'd want to use glass for the shelves, so each level would be visible. I'd install mirrors at the back wall, in the style of museum cases.
If I had two of the things, I could use one to show off art pieces that I own and that I have created.
I could see this getting very complicated. My project queue is getting awfully full, even though it appears my free time is going to get a lot more constricted.
