makin' wall art outta driftwood
I had a piece of driftwood with some interesting curves and characteristics. I thought I’d cut it up into a few slices to see if I could make a piece of wall art out of it. My goal was to “collaborate” with wood when designing the piece of art by keeping the shapes of the wood slices as natural as I could. This way, the design of the art piece isn’t only my idea but the wood plays a big part in helping me come up with the design.

The Basics When It Comes To Improving Your House
Thinking about tackling a new home improvement project? Luckily there are tips to help you with that in this article.
When you are getting ready to do a big project, hire someone to help you plan it out. Plans created on your own or through friends may be pretty, but not functional with your current home. Someone who professionally designs will do it the right way and you will avoid any disaster.
Demand a formal contract that is signed by both you and your contractor before any work is started. You may also want to have the contract looked at by a lawyer. Start and end dates, work to be done and warranty information must be stated in the contract.
While painting, remember to protect the floors. This helps keep wet paint off of your flooring. When painting, use newspapers on your floor to reduce staining. A paint cloth works well too, as you simply need to create a barrier to prevent the paint from hitting the floor.
If you want to replace locks, you can replace the entire knob or just the cylinder. The locking action is performed by the cylinder. This is also the part that is replaced for security reasons, such as when you lose a key. If you want to install an upgrade, then revamp the entire unit.
If you are working on your home yourself, make sure to purchase high quality tools and supplies. This investment will pay dividends in the long run and is well worth the expenditure. As a general rule, better quality products have longer lifespans and can take more punishment before they break. Therefore, you should purchase quality tools that will last for a long time.
Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, a home improvement project can sometimes feel like a big burden. The tips in this article will give you some idea on what you need to do, and it will also make your house look wonderful.
