Its a WIP right now, but anyone give me some suggestions on how to layout my art and possible make some room to add more.

It looks to me as if your shelves are twice as high as they need to be. So, you could have double the shelving? It looks quite empty.

Good stuff though.

The shelves are set into the wall so it's probable he's making use of preexisting shelves.  He could definitely add some peg holes to make some floating/removable inner shelves.

Yes you need to add some shelving if possible. Another option is to randomly hang the pictures w/i the shelving unit. Seeing everything looks like foam mounted images how about getting some of that removable clay tape (whatever you call it) or velcro and sticking the images within the shelving unit.

BIll

Just curious, but what is all the stuff in the shelves? Is it some kind of needlepoint work or something?

So that's what those things are... my kids came home recently from an afterschool program with a bunch of stuff made from those.  Is the art made from them always that fragile?  The things they made would fall apart if you put the slightest force on them.

Looking at the pics I thought his stuff was LEGO.

Its all in how you make them. You have to iron them enough but not to much otherwise they will melt and look like crap.

It takes alot of time for the big ones but its worth it. Its so hard to find video game stuff I got fed up and decided todo it myself.

I added a close up to get a better idea.

I remember as a kid there were these plastic bead things we'd make by sticking the beads in the oven after we made our designs...

That looks very nice!

A good idea to use those perler beads, in fact, I'm going to look for some at the toyshop tommorow and give it a try this weekend.
