ROBIN cake tin wall art

 

Over the last few years, I’ve RESCUED a wealth of items in need of REUSING, RECYCLING, and REPURPOSING … reducing my stockpile will be my target for my next few projects. For the two items I’ve finished today, I used loose bottom cake tins from a charity shop, and part of a metal length of outdoor wind chimes.
I cut two robin shapes from new MDF, using an electric jigsaw, to which I added mosaic craft tiles. I then grouted the two birds.
For the bottom of the cake tins, I sprayed a layer of white aerosol paint. On one I used green, yellow, and blue acrylic paint, applied with a sponge in random overlapping areas, thus creating colour mixing on the tin base. For the second base, I made card stencils of ivy leaves, and applied green paint for a leafy background.
The tins each have two holes for the picture cord, for hanging the decoration on a wall.

Approximate measurements:
Large Robin
Total length 47cm; 23cm/9” circular cake tin with 7cm depth; 24cm hanging chain/metal bird and bell; mosaic robin 21cm x 21cm. Weight 573g

Need a postage box 23cm x 26cm x 10 cm

Stained Glass Table Lamp

 

Handmade STAINED GLASS table lamp. Used. Working.

I made this at a night school class 20 years ago, but with my current down-sizing, it is no longer needed.

I used an original iris design to cut the glass pieces, which I then copper foiled and soldered into shape. The finished glass piece is approx. 27.5cm across and 21cm high. It is displayed in a metal base (making it approx. 23cm high).

The base has an on/off switch and a 20cm length of wire with a fused plug, bought in 2003.

I’ll include the GENIE Philips 14W energy saver bulb FREE, as it has been used and I’m not sure how long it will last.
