Metal and Resin Art for Home Decor

A new year brings new opportunities but only if one pushes oneself to higher heights. I’m taking advantage of having a studio space to build some innovative ideas that are just asking to be born. Picture if you will, an Eastern Red Cedar card table with green transparent resin surrounding the circles of its growth. Woodworking has always appealed to me but the bigger tools come with a bigger expense. With careful planning and construction, I’ve found that I can build this outstanding fold-able card table. Here are some of my raw materials:

Irregular boards for live edge top of card table and regular cut legs to be attached with hinges.

Tessellation in Resin

Another idea you should see completed soon is my hot air balloon tessellation. A tessellation is the contents of a 60° 60° 60° triangle mirrored to its respective sides. I have designed a hot air balloon motif from bent brass rods. The spaces between will be filled with colored transparent resin, much like a stained glass window. This piece measures 23″ x 23″ and it will be illuminated for hanging on a wall with four aluminum stand-offs.

Copper and Brass Metal Work

I’ve also been doing a lot of work with metal. My first experience was the brass spiral staircase inside the lighthouse. Then I used copper tubes as frames around resin tiles. My latest work is just a fun copper dandelion plant with a puff ball.

A black and white resin roof caps the lantern room. A wooden "widows walk" surrounds the light also in the shape of a hexagon.
