MATCHSTICK PICTURES

Post by petrolhead »

This is what I do to keep myself busy, an A2 size picture takes about 1000 matches and just as many hours, I've almost finished the Redheads Matches logo and I'm half way through the Harley Davidson logo, want something done? Then supply me with an A2 size picture, 1000 Red heads matches,(craft ones are crap)a 3mm thick piece of MDF that is A2 size and on completion $100.00, cheap for what is involved for a one off piece of artwork(all pieces are signed & dated)

Far out man, how long would something like that take ???????
Should try and do some old motor oil signs or something, would look cool as.
How about NASCO sign, although I dunno where you would get blue matches from. :lol:

An A2 size picture takes about 1000 matches and just as many hours, if you need colour then you paint them with water colour paint once you have formed them, got some good pic's for me then e-mail them to me at petrolhead1@bigpond.com
