I've been doing more home improvement things this summer than crafty things. But, I seriously think these count towards being creative, especially when trying to do things cheaply.
This pallet bench on the back porch. Now I have permanent seating for the lake view. It can also be used for so many other things: plants, a grill prop, napping bed...
This was easy to make & cheep (free pallets)!
1) Using a circular saw I cut the pallets in half, saving the middle brace for support.
2) I ended up buying 1x4 pine boards for the top of the bench. Those were just washed with stain before nailing them on. But, after getting a lot of rain, I'm going to coat them with Polyacrylic too.
Don't worry. I'm not really pretentious about art - I just like the word "fart," and the rhyme. This is my visual creativity log. I can't really stick to a theme with writing on my other blog. Too many things interest me. The same is true with art, but at least that can be a common thread here. I am hoping this will give me motivation to continue being crafty too. Every piece of artwork is derived from some sort of inspiration or influence in our lives at that time. Here are my tidbits.
