SALT shakers

today - in an out of character move for both me and my friend, was spent making objects for an exhibition that opens tomorrow night. we had this idea a couple months ago now after we were invited to be a part of a group show called Salt.

it has been organised in the same gallery and by the same person as the rust exhibition where me and the same collaborator on these salt shakers made a chandelier.



the idea was simple enough, to make salt shakers re-using bottles and rubber corks.




we just had not gotten around to actually making them.

i had a made a prototype for an image about a month ago; so we knew how to make them and that it would work, we just haven't had the time.

this is the image of the prototypes:



these are the ones we made today.



we decided to stick with the one style of salt shaker for this exhibition. it is nice to make something that isn't stressful, is useful, and with a friend so you can have a good time together and get some work done.

the exhibition opens tomorrow. i will try and post some images - if i take any.
