DH's new obession, buying "art" for our home
Rolling ball sculptures we now have 3 of them. 2 of them to hang on the walls. I feel like he is creating a Sanford and Son theme in my home. He lets me do whatever I want, so I feel bad limiting him, but he is getting crazy now. He asked for 1 for christmas, so he got one from my grandmother. He won the second one of ebay as his valentines day present. Now he just got another. He said it is art. We don't even have the house yet and I am already nervous.

Re: DH's new obession, buying "art" for our home
Maybe allow DH 1 room to decorate and go crazy with his art.
Make it a rule that the rest of the rooms have to be normal.

I was trying for this, then he suggested to me this new slim one for the wall he ordered that he would love to put in a front foyer I said I fear that people will need tetnus shots though from bumping into it.
Now he says he is going to start making them. He ordered a small blow torch in the mail, and bought fluid for it last night. He says this things are going to make us a lot of money
and it is his passion

Re: DH's new obession, buying "art" for our home
Wow...that's some interesting art. But, like Cherylbooch said...let him have one room to decorate...that's what I'm doing with my DH...but, I've also given him limits in that room because otherwise it would just be a mishmash of stuff.

he puchased the one hanging on the wall, as well as another wall hanger. The free standing one is close to the other one that he bought. He also bought a clock that runs on rolling balls.

Re: DH's new obession, buying "art" for our home
Ok I must come clean. I am the one who built both of the sculptues shown. I was curious because both photos came up for this site several times and I wanted to check out who was linking the photos. I do not care that you've linked my pictures! That said, does your hubby want another? He obviously has great taste! I have another in progress you can see at my website www.rollingballsculpture.com. I originally sold the top one to "Larry" in Pasadena, Ca. My new RBS is for hanging on the wall also, and will be bigger than the one shown at the top of this thread.
You should be lucky, my wife's mouth hangs slack and the drool runs if I even - just a little - try to explain RBS to her. 
It could be worse....

Re: DH's new obession, buying "art" for our home
wow small world. I know that he bought the last one from a guy in Dallas. I don't know if the first one is from you, I just looked for a generic picture of it and that is pretty close. He searches ebay for them, are you selling them on ebay?

Re: DH's new obession, buying "art" for our home
Not this one hopefully. I do sell smaller desktop size sculptures that are for your table, desk, etc. They do not have a ball lift. They run about $75 - $100 and are a great way to distract from the everyday doldrums. I will have another desktop size on today, but it is pretty plain and I am only gonna list it for about $45 + $12 shipping. I am not making them out of brass any longer. The solder was weak and would not hold up well to shipping. I have switched to stainless steel because it does not tarnish, and the welds are permanent.
Yes, small world indeed! And at least you do not have to hear about how their made (yet).

Re: DH's new obession, buying "art" for our home
that is my big problem, that it is not stainless steel, DH promised to change from brass and copper to color silver. So that is great that you are going to stainless. I will keep you in mind for b-day season out of all my posts on here, I get a hook up for this "art" how come no shoe/bag/jeans hook ups? I will pass your info to DH thanks for being a good sport, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
DH also is interested in the ones that are fridge magnets, I guess you set them up and the marble rolls down them?
