<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This tree took months.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Not because of the design or the method, but laziness. I started this and made it 1/2 way through. Got lazy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Three months later I decided one day to finish it. I had noticed in the meantime studying the two and a half boards I've made that my materials weren't foolproof; the push-pins I had been using seemed to have weakened over time (resulting in the flats falling off), and rust was beginning to appear on a couple of caps. I invested in a glue-glun, stronger push-pins and a lacquer. I realise now that you can't actually get away without using some type of varnish; ideally a resin, but I'm anti-frames, so I'm not so sure how resin and I could get along.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This one I'll admit was trickier because so little of it was laid straight. Limited in my supply, I used a similar-sized board as my last two, only this one was white. In hindisght, I probably should have used a plain wooden board to suit the colours I used a little better.</span></div>

I thought I'd save myself a mountain of time by laying out the board. Pre-pinning. I did this before, on my first piece, and swore to never do it again. It doesn't work. The amount of wasted time. Failed hopes. Don't do it. Don't ever do it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I restarted and resorted back to the good old time-consuming, back-breaking one-by-one method. One pencil mark. One pin. One bang. One scrape. One blob of glue. 2-4 minutes on and you'll get to do a whole other one - imagine! Sarcasm aside, I do enjoy the process, nomatter how arduous.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">This was the easy part of the board. The branches are straight-edged on the left, but this wasn't my plan for the right-hand side. I wanted more stray branches, and I wanted it to appear as if the wind was attacking them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I map out the design on the board first, then either photograph and remove them or else just leave them there and push them out of the way as I go. Usually the latter. With this design I found it especially easy to lose my place and fucked up quite a few times. I had to be careful with placement - too much of the one colour too close together and I run the risk of being asked, "What is it?" (It has happened, and it's upsetting).</span></div>

Baby number two came quickly. This one was made in I think 3 evenings; its simple design and colours were to thank for that. This time I used a slightly smaller board with a white face. </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">People make art from waste all the time. Bottlecaps are a pretty type of waste, at least. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I work in a bar and have done since I was a teenager. Throwing away bottlecaps was something I did on a daily basis. The idea only struck me mid-2016 that I should keep these and display them. Naturally, I sought the help of Google to reveal to me an idea surely arrived on the minds of others: bottlecap art. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Online I saw some pretty cool pieces involving bottlecaps. Everybody seemed to either flatten them or use a grout or a resin to attach them to their desired surface, so I thought I'd shake it up a bit and try a new technique using materials perhaps a bit too classroom-friendly - push pins and glue. In my shed I found old cuts of what used to be our kitchen counter-top. Those, a rusty old hammer and a couple hundred bottlecaps completed my ingredients. I stared at them and felt like I was about to make a very unconventional and time-consuming cake; one that I had already decided would be named Honeycoma. No sweet pun intended.</span><br />
