Wall Art #1 of ?
After the last build of the coffee and end table I had an idea to use patina and color and start a collection of wall art.
I decided to use mainly primary colors for the beginning piece and I wanted to make layers of shapes and textures.
This piece was a nice start I believe and already provided me with ideas going forward for future pieces.
Let me know what you think. I'm hoping to get some other pieces created soon and make a wall art portfolio. Ultimately I would like to get some pieces into a gallery for people to see and enjoy.

End and Coffee Table look Fantastic in their Home!
Like most of my projects this was a first. I had an idea about using tile in my designs for a while and I was able to make that idea a reality with these tables.
The client and I discussed the idea of concrete tops or something similar. The mention of concrete sparked me to pursue my idea of tile. I began by obtaining some samples of tile and sharing pictures with the client about the style, color and patterns to see if they liked how these pieces would match their interior. After brief discussion the patterns in the tables below were chosen.
We had some good discussions about size and shape of the frames and then the building began.
We decided on 2" square tube and I was going to patina these frames with a black color. I had an idea of the look my client was going for from other pictures of furniture she had shared with me and patina was going to be the added touch to make these tables unique.
This was the first time using patina for me and it proved to be a unique challenge. There is an element of time that is a really important factor in making the patina happen. I learned a lot and have A LOT to learn and practice until I feel comfortable with patina. I will be excited to use it on future projects.
Extremely happy with the way these turned out. Was also really excited about how thrilled my client was.
Hope you enjoy the photos. Feel free to contact me with your ideas about your next project!
