Pardon my dust! I just migrated my website to the fantastic Eleventy and am recording the redesign process of adopting my design system for our AI & Design Systems course.

Making Things in December #14: Cans

For day 14 of making something every day in December, I started an art project involving cutting and painting a bunch of aluminum cans. It doesn't look like much right now:

A number of cut aluminum cans turned upside-down and painted white. A jigsaw sits to the right of the cans.

I've done some projects like this in the past, to give you a bit of context:

Cans Painting by Brad Frost

I have a bunch of left over paint samples for when we painted our house, and everyone in our house/office works through a ton of La Croix, so I'm confident I'll have plenty of raw materials to work with. In any case, it's been fun to start doing some more physical art.
