eh, what the hell.... DIY Wall Art/Clock *pics*

needed something large to fill up a wall at home. The wife added these bright blue pillows in the room, so i made some wall art to match and tie everything together.

Drew up an idea in CAD and had it laser cut out of 1/8" Aluminum

-Put an abrasive finish into the Aluminum
-Matched the Pillows with some automotive Paint.
-Sprayed light coats of color, leaving the blue translucent
-Clear Coated
-Hung

Fills up the wall nice, adds some color to the room. Clock isn’t finished, I have to work on it a bit, but the hour hand is in place.

That’s all. I haven’t put any DIY threads up in quite some time, so i needed to do something. More DIY furnishings in the near future.

wow that looks great! wanna make me one? lol jk

nice job dude :tup:

pretty cool. I like the design… not the colors. Probably just the lighting from the camera.

:tup:

love the paint design.

Good work as always.

That’s sweet!

wow, pretty cool! I like the colors

the hands are “Steel Grey Metallic”…left over from a mysteriously M.I.A. BMW i have

:snky:

:tup: nice work. I love doing things like this for my house. I think I’m going to start getting some ideas together to keep myself occupied, and away from spending money on car stuff.

I appreciate the engineering and the DIY, but it’s kind of ugly… lol.

Solid blue > translucent too 80’s art deco as is IMO

A very smooth bright ass (cyan) blue finish would look much better

^ The flash is what brought all that out…it’s subtle, but i like metal. Besides, it keeps the wife at bay since she has been bugging me to get something on the wall and she likes “circles”.

I’ll take another picture with no flash in the near future…when its light out.

mmmm steel grey.

hum, i think i like it… but is need something.

what goes in the rest of the circles ? nothing? if you are doing a theme you should incorporate that into the empty circles somehow

otherwise it looks like a big catapillar

Paint two of them black, or silver. Particularly the ones with the screws in them for mounting.

not bad not bad

oh like type R’s right

… i like it how did you hing the clock part. did you also have to hing every circle or is that all one unit

haha…the inspiration was a diaper bag:
