For this piece I made this out of nails and Styrofoam balls.I used skewers to connect the Styrofoam, since Styrofoam chips away so easily I covered the skewers with hot glue to help keep it in place. I did the same thing for connecting the nails. I spray painted each ball with the nails in tact before attaching them.Once they were all connected I went back to touch it up, after I painted the tips of the nails a different color to add more to is. Once I was done with the main piece I didn't know how I wanted to display this. It was notoriously heavy to stand up on it's own. My dad had a plastic holder that displays a baseball. He gave it to me to try and use as a stand. I spray painted it to match the piece and surprisingly enough the piece balanced on it. I did not glue this piece to the stand at all, it balances on it's own. |
