Crafty Find: Unusual Canvasses

These crafty finds comes via http://www.dudecraft.com/, a blog that has a collection of visual and creative images by various artists. These three in particular caught my eye as they take unusual and everyday materials to create beautiful images.

The first is a couple pieces of artwork by Andrew Myers (you can read more here) who creates his artwork out of ordinary hardware screws. He drills them into plywood covered with phonebook pages at various heights to create a 3D visual effect and then paints them. What an ingenious idea!


Next up, along the same theme as the screw art, designer Marcus Levin creates his portraits out of wood nails, hammering each in place to create these incredibleportraits (you can read and view more here).


And finally, this next piece is a variation of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, in which the original work is re-created using more than 8000 bottle caps. Impressive! For a few more close-ups, click here.
