I have been making all these silly little machines. But how do I show them? Sue took the spinning chair piece to work to show Jacob. Jacob and Marvin own the sandwich shop where I have shown and sold a lot of my work in the past. But these can't hang on the wall. Marvin still has the piece and is trying to figure out a way to display them for a show. I have come up with an idea I think looks pretty good:
I've simply built a crude box around each piece and voila! It can now hang on a wall or sit on a table or shelf with or without the box. I can get the wooden slats at Home Depot for about 33 cents each. It only takes me about 15 minutes to measure the piece and build the box for it. Then I stain it with watered down black acrylic paint.
I'm pretty happy with this.
