Repurposing

I had this panel hanging on the wall for months and couldn’t get myself to finish what I had originally had in mind for for it. It suddenly hit me the other night when I couldn’t get to sleep what I need to do with it. It will be another pink I-beam piece. I believe this is the third rework of this panel.

Here is the panel after sanding it roughly. It had a black band at the top and four dark blue panels of paint below. The top band now reveals paint underneath.

Detail of the top part of the panel. You can see a little purple paint showing through.

The top band has been left as is and the rest of the panel has been painted with a cream color using a brush and paint spreader card. Look closely at the top and you will see two eye screws have been installed. From those will hang the I-beam that you can see at the top of the image.

How the final panel turned out waiting for a pink I-beam to be added. The nylon strings are what the pink I-beam will hang from when it’s finished.
