Matchsticks & Cardboard
My DIY weekend with hundreds of matches, cardboard, glue, and wooden chair seat from alphabet city trash day...
Sanded down the wooden chair seat to make a smooth circular frame
Strike Anywhere Matches from the hardware store
Whiskey because the lighting was perfect and whiskey makes most things better
Burned each match while catching up on tv
Glued down the eight guide spokes and began filling in the gaps
After all of the matchsticks were glued down I use an x-acto knife to trim down excess cardboard
Figure framed and awaiting the matte
Matted and framed
The final product
