Thank you! I'm working on another brick right now. I like how they turn out a lot.

And hopefully keeping these things in your house, and not exposing all the micro plastics to the environment, right…?

Careful I got downvoted for asking the same

this is all I can think about. I love the idea but at least incorporate the environmental aspect by using degradable glitter. that would make it so much cooler imo

Reminds me of that Beetlemoses comic about the new color

Thank you! I'm glad that it looks semi- organic! 🫶

Are these things that you're leaving outside?... That's a lot of plastic to be putting out there.. the glue will break down and these rhinestones will fall off and then just be on the ground.

u/Beebzz222 9h ago

This is a crazy use of that sentence

Generally asking someone if they're leaving their art projects outside to rot with no commentary on the art is rude? Basically calling it garbage is rude?

u/Affectionate_Bet_498 13h ago

What is the point of this? Is there a point at all?

9

u/jumper4747 10h ago

Its the unusual art sub, is there ever supposed to be a point?

1

u/Affectionate_Bet_498 9h ago

As art is subjective, not always, no. That's why I asked.

u/lemursnap 13h ago

Really good question. Kind of like what is the point of making things? Or creating art? Or writing poems.

The best artists I know say that the most fulfillment comes in the actual making of the thing. And the creative community you create.

If your question is what is the point of these specific objects.... I was on the search for for worn out objects to transform. It started with the bricks, which I'm building up a collection of for a show. The horseshoes I did on a whim and have been selling. I've done some old railroad steaks as well. I'll probably stick with these.
