I love those frames, especially for the price! There isn’t an Ikea within a couple thousand miles of me, so I don’t have access to them anymore, but I loved them when I did!
Fantastic use, and my suggestion for another theme would be a submarine underwater
Sadly these frames (the Ribba) have been getting cheaper and cheaper because they are degrading them. They don’t use glass anymore (they use a cheap plastic), and the backings are thin and warp easily.
I keep hoping the price will go back up and they’ll bring back the real glass, but I doubt it is gonna happen.
Between Each layer I’ve added a 3mm stick of wood! around the frame!
Works really well… I’ve seen people using double sided tape (like the EVA Double sided one).
Just make sure you aren’t confusing creativity with artistic ability – I have very little artistic ability (drawing, painting, basically generating anything from scratch), but can do a lot with adapting other people’s art. If you like a project, use it as an inspiration point! A lot of amazing stuff is from people iterating on other people’s ideas.
If I were to do a similar piece, I’d almost certainly find existing files to adapt with a shuttle and alien instead of trying to make my own even though they are pretty simple shapes. Basically, don’t feel limited by lack of ability to generate an entire design – the internet is full of options to help you out.
Super Cool! Love it
For the foreground, I might have worked up more rocket exhaust-blast layers to help give a bit more depth, but it stands very well just as it is. Nice work!
