Acoustice Wall Art: leaf panels

Still using the Emancipation Proclamation Live Oak Tree as inspiration, I have used the shape if its leaves to create and acoustic panel, playing with the scale of the leaf. I am planning on cutting out part of the out line of the leaf and sewing(or something else) the area neared to the connection together allowing it to stay elevated slightly so that the white can show through the cut spaces.

Acoutic Wall Art: Bedroom

Using my acoustic wall art idea I am moving forward to the bedroom. By placing a piece above the bed it can also functions as a headboard. I am exploring different shapes and quantities of the panels, whether I should make it looks as a canvas, work with horizontals seen on the wood panels on the wall to the left, or devide it in 2 or 4. I am still working on the design that will go on these panels, but it may change depending on what conposition i end up using. Feedback?

Acoustic Wall Art Ideastions

I am playing with colors for the Tree Wall Art, I am presently leaning toward the green with white tree or brown with green tree. The colors are taken from what we see in the house, the red Diem wall, the accent green from the back splash, the brown from the wood. This piece was previously made of wood but I am changing it to be made of a material call QuietBrace (http://www.homedepot.com/p/QuietBrace-1-2-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-Sound-Deadening-Structural-Insulating-Sheathing-3103308/202089176#.UVcoJxwqZf8) which is a sounds dampening material, which I will cover with felt with the design and colors. These panels will not only look like art but will function as acoustic panels. I have also increased the size of the piece to be the same length as the TV to bring balance to the space. If anyone has any feed back on the colors, or any other ideas of color combination or the previous size (small) or larger size, which can be seen below in comparison to the TV. I am more than happy to get feedback!

How to make you own acoustic panels.

i am learning to make my own acoustic panels, so far this seems like the most practical way for me. Although i am going to be using felt rather than a finish fabric. wish me luck!

ACOUSTIC wall art

presently in studio i am focusing on functional art. which started off as being wall decor as a storage place for place mats but has now taken an interesting turn. my wall art is to be designed for the Canopy House, UNCG students and faculty have decided to assist team Tidewater with the interior aspects of the house.after showing them my preliminary intent i was given some feed back to possibly turn my wall art panels into acoustic panels. at first the idea was difficult to grasp, partially because i hadn't even considered it. the image above shows my precedent study of different methods of making acoustic tiles. since these tiles are to be placed through out the house i want to focus on making each set of panels for each room different because this is a residential project. not many peoples homes have the same artwork in each room or even the same configuration of artwork. my challenge now is to focus on creating unique acoustic artwork embodying the personalty and concepts of the home.

"Every Rose has a Thorn"

Drawn after being inspired by the song "Every Rose Has a Thorn" by the band Poison ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2r2nDhTzO4). Everyone has there differences and own problems, no one is perfect, but striving to do your best is all you can do to better yourself in the world. Never stop growing, we all have our thorns but the point is to bloom into something wonderful a rose.
