In this detailed tutorial, all you need is spray paint, paper, and things you can find in your recycle bin, such as lids, cans, newspaper and cardboard! No art training required! Imagine a loved one getting this as a gift!
Spray paint art reminds me so much of hip hop dance, both originated from the streets, invented by people who had no formal training, yet both have the power to touch our souls. Two weeks ago while traveling in lovely San Francisco, a forgotten dream of painting a galaxy was awakened within me, as I watched street artists painting a bright moon floating above a silhouette of Golden Gate Bridge.
I often painted clouds in art school and know that it can take days or weeks to give a painting light, air and volume. So you can imagine my excitement when it finally clicked that I can, perhaps, paint a galaxy filled with light, air and volume in 30 minutes! Not to mention the chance to act like a bad a$$ street artist!
All the pieces that Im sending to the Lakewood Cultural Center in Colorado for their upcoming exhibit titled "New Directions in Contemporary Jewelry".
So I had this old Zenith TV. The TV used to work fine, but when I took it to a photoshoot, the proprietary power connector snapped off.
I got bored and made it into a bookshelf. I will put the knobs back on when I have time to modify the old potentiometers. When I have access to some woodworking tools, I will make the front panel into a large door, with a hidden latch so that it can swing out (currently the contents must be accessed from behind) Since the console is sturdy, I am fairly certain I can do it without compromising the structure.
These steampunk goggles were created using welding goggles that I have modified for your wearing pleasure. Wanting these to look like vintage brass goggles, I gold leafed the goggles using faux gold leaf, then riveted on gorgeous vintage-style brass filigrees. Lenses are clear, elastic head band is adjustable.
When Prof. Erstwhile Entwhistle happened upon the wreckage of the Time Machine he was shocked at what he saw. Yes, the beautiful hand-etched brass ribbing was intact, even Lady Matilda Machination's gorgeous and ingenious control panel was present. Many other inspired and well-crafted items for journeying through space and time survived the crash. What puzzled him most however was the lack of human remains. Not a bone, scrap of cloth, hank of hair was present. A chill went up and down his back as all that he found were these time-traveler goggles. It is with much regret that he has entrusted me to put these up for sale with the proceeds earmarked for the repair of his precious mechanism. Let'em eat steam!
