Wall art from samples

[Worbeye]

When going through the sample wall and pulling discontinued samples or pulling companies we don't work with anymore, it felt too much a waste to just toss them so I figured I'd make chevron art with them. Sadly a lot of samples did get tossed unable to be matched with each other but I got a good assortment of pieces made with what I could match together. It was a nice creative thing to do in some downtime when there were no orders being done.

Those are fantastic!
What a great way to decorate the framing shop.
I bet if you put a price tag on them you would get a few buyers.
oh, btw...what is this term "down time" you speak of

Nice done. But I think customers quickly get last with making choices. And where are the 6-cornered frames?

Awesome! I also felt bad about tossing samples, so I made a "snowflake" a while back. Also bought some spray paint to make the next one all one color, once I have the time and temperature to mess around with it.

Now that you have made art with them someone's going to ask about one of those moldings.

But they look great!

If you hang it up, someone is going to ask you to make one just like it for them.
Then what?

Sorry, they're one of a kind limited edition disco samples!

That makes them even more valuable and collectible.
Start a bidding war!
