Joker Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Post away Trance! That's what the thread is for. Ah, I just got Seeking's post as I typed the word Trance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Okay, I'm going to throw this out there because years ago ( maybe 1990? ) I tried something similar to this. But now that I've moved along in my creative habits and I've just seen this... it's sparked an idea. I'm going to ask you to try it out for me so I can see the results without having to actually do anything. This, of course, is based on the idea that you even want to do this. Anyway... A large canvas, like the size you have or larger, completely covered in pieces of CD bits. Sounds easy enough but the few times I tried it out I was just breaking the CDs into pieces and putting them together on a canvas. The anal retentive artist me hated the way it looked so I never finished. What I needed to do was cut the CD into several bits that were all squared or rectangular or triangular. So that when all the pieces were put together there were perfectly closed seems between each piece. Again, sounds somewhat easy. The final kick in the junk was that there had to be a pattern to the placement of the bits. If you're up to the task... that would be cool. If not, no worries. Just thought I'd share.

King Of Hell Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 yeah i have almost zero interest in the broken cd mosiac, BUT i do think you would make it look good somehow joker. By the way..soesnt have to be a bic pen. just needs to be a green pen. no pencils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 i walked by a stained glass workshop today. for a second i thought wow this is some really nice stuff. id love to learn how to do this. then i was like, sitting around cutting glass all day and fitting them into a metal mold? nah no thanks. i may settle for the simpler aka cheesier way of just getting one piece of glass a sodering gun and paint the thing. but that is kinda lame and lazy of me. so i might give up on the idea all together. life is full of disappointments.

King Of Hell Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Dude, go easy on him. He's old. Soon he'll be just hobbling around aimlessly shaking his fist and yelling at passing cars about how the KGB owns Mitsubishi, "to HELL with the ace of spades!", the many uses of buffalo balls, golf tee's, and "those goddamn Japs!".

seeking Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 consiering that its 4/5th's of my word, in nearly exact order, one might mistakenly expect something halfway decent from me here. that would be your great folly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Hell Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I just chose it because I was feeling like, and we were all sounding like a bunch of antiques. Old dudes. Gotta shake off the cobwebs. Also I like Antiques Roadshow. Alot. ll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyLox Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I don't have a green pen. I do have a dark colored pen and i also believe in making my own rules so already my attempt will be and abstraction of your requirement. just the word antique?

Joker Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Did mine this afternoon during lunch. Couldn't find a green pen in the huge box of markers/ pens but I used something kinda close. Will post it later this evening when I'm not trying to get out the door while the weather is beautiful. Which if you know Portland at this time of year, it's rare.
