How I upcycle Michael’s 3D printer rejects #fun #create #upcycle #art #3Dprint #glue #acrylicpain

The art of Upcycling ...
I used 3D printer stuff that my husband saved for me, along with his discarded electronic junk. There are amazing textures to be found among geeks! Life needs Art, doesn't it?!

I love the many colours of paint and industrial vib, but not industrial colours! A warm mix not dark or greys like many industrial works. Made me smile too!

Thanks for commenting… it would be interesting to do something with more subdued colours along with a brighter ground … I might play with that if I can stop being a sucker for jewel tones!!

@@dorothealeblancart sometimes it's hard to step outside our comfort zone. I might just bring only those out and only use them.

@@kathrynseaman6482 thank you; I’m getting a vision of something to experiment with on my next piece (using up computer “memory” boards.)

Just found your channel and I love it!

Oh thanks so much! It takes me a while to put up videos …

Hi! Just subscribed and watched 4 videos on the trot before dragging myself away to cook dinner. I love how you recycle and design and also your colour choices, even the ones you don't like kinda work! Tfs

[@dorothealeblancart]

Awww, thanks for your very kind comment!

[@dorothealeblancart]

well, as often occurs, I’m in the process of changing these colours … I’ll update the video when I think I’m successful.

Hi Dorothea! How are you? Happy New year to you too. I love the end result of this. Before you even mentioned "city view" I was thinking that. Like a close up Google Earth of a city/town. Love the final colors, they are my favorite. I've been busy working on a few projects. Took note of all your tips and ordered some of that clear varnish/glue you use to drip/pour over your placed objects. Are you on Instagram?

[@dorothealeblancart]

Hi Friend! Thanks for your compliment! Yes I’m on Instagram. You’ll see what I’m working on now : @DorotheaLeBlancArt. I post time lapse clips there, almost as I make them. What are your projects about? Hope you like the pouring medium! And waiting for me on iMovie are a couple of large video projects that I’m dragging my feet on (because of too many clips). One day I’ll get to them …

[@dorothealeblancart]

Oh, I re-read your comment -it’s the thin varnish you got, not the thick pouring medium.

@@dorothealeblancart called "Liquitex 7508 Professional Fluid Medium/Glazing" That's what I got, I hope that's right. Tried to write it down before. Will be gluing down colored broken glass. Not real glass. Been working on my bathroom--painting moldings, stenciling doors, making my faux Moroccan mirrors, etc. Got my cheap scroll saw. Will be cutting mirrored-acrylic sheets to fit the Moroccan frames when weather allows outdoor work.

@@creativegirl9710 right. The weather. Wind chill is -27C here in NS today! That’s not normal!

@@dorothealeblancart Yikes, that is brutal. I don't do well in cold weather. My joints start to hurt no matter how warm I dress. I turn into the Tin Man. One of these years we need to go south for the winter. Stay warm!
