Ali,

 

Clever and unusual with the colors, sharpness as well as a very uncomfortable nest for the chicken.

I like this one. I'm from the days when I drove a few of those. The cut nails not the egg.

Stuart, Paul,Hank, JD - thanks, i'm glad you like it.

 

I replaced some of the original floor boards in one of the rooms in my house, which is actually 120 years old. It just did not feel right to throw the nails out, so i kept them.

Very creative.

I'd keep those nails. Something about materials from another time is always appealing.

When I was a young apprentice Carpenter, in a land far far away a long time ago, I used these cut nails to install furring strips to a masonry wall for finishing with paneling or drywall.

They were cheaper than newly invented masonry nails and held better. You can still get them today. The pullout strength is better than a round nail.

Henry,Bill - Thank you for looking. I shall scratch my head some more and think of a way of keeping them and having them on display in and incorporated as part of the house again.

 

JD - i have a retired builder friend who still swears by them too.

Ali,

 

I thought that maybe you photographed this in a gallery. It's a very intriguing and beautifully done sculpture. You should pursue this artist in you more!

Thanks Ece, that is very kind of you to say so..... lets see what else i can do as i have some more nails!

Ali, this image shocked me--in a very good way. I just wasn't expecting anything like what opened up. That's gallery material. I love it. Wherever did you find those nails?

Hi Brent, thank you and glad you liked it. The nails are from a bedroom floor that needed replacing in my house

Ali, like Ece, I was sure you took this shot in a art gallery or museum! If not, you should, maybe, bring it to a gallery! I is a great idea, a beautiful composition and a superb shot!... A piece of art, my friend!

Louis, many thanks for the kind words. In these cold grey days where it starts to get dark by 3pm, we need to get our creative fix somehow and work with what is available.....
