2017 Topic 7: Found Objects
Hi Guys, it is Kim Dellow back on the PaperArtsy blog and I've got to say this is one of my all time favourite themes because I am a compulsive scavenger! I love found objects and I often come back home with my pockets full of rusty bits that find themselves abandoned in the street.
So for my share I have combined a street-found washer and a large metal grommet with part of an old comic book page to make this little hanger using the electro-heart from the EKD04 stamp set that I designed for PaperArtsy.
I do love playing about with how we view projects and I love the way this one changes depending on if the light source is behind it or in front of it.
The old rusty washer and large metal grommet are not just part of the design, and fun to look at, but they are functional too.
I've used wire to make the hanger as wire is one of my favourite additions to my three dimensional projects.
And have you spotted the colour and texture from the Royal Blood Infusions in the piece as well?
If you like this piece then do come and visit my blog to see more of my three dimensional projects as well as all the other things I regularly share. You can find me at Kim Dellow, on YouTube, where I regularly post project how-tos and walk-through videos, and on Instagram. I'm on all the other social media channels too under my name so let's hook up!
Thanks Kim, what a great little piece of combined lost treasures, I love that you keep an eye out for them while you are out and about. The ready made rusty bits are perfect with your circuit board heart. ~Darcy

ReplyDeleteI'm always hoarding bits and pieces I find for 'Mark making' in my art journaling so this will be a fun theme to join in with.
ReplyDeleteLove how the rusty washer works with the acrylic, and the industrial look of the heart (like an electronics board) - such a great piece from all angles and in all lighting states.
