Nice bugle but this is the "Fine Arts" thread. You might want to post this in hobbies or antiques.
I'll leave that to the mods. I'm sure they can keep things under control. Most of the "original art" on this particular thread may or may not qualify as "fine art" but I'm pretty sure that my montage is as fine a quality as the other stuff on this thread - most of which I find to be refreshingly original, unique, and evocative.
By the way, the fact that you mention only the bugle tells me something about your perspective. It's not just a bugle, or just an antique picture frame, or just some ribbon - it's the total effect that's artistic.
Not all art is accomplished with a paintbrush, pen, or pencil.

I am not suggesting that all of the artwork represented in this thread should be displayed in a gallery or museum...but neither does a piece that looks like it was purchased at Home Goods belong under the fine arts section. Your project is more suited
in the interior design or hobbies/recreation threads. What other section on CD would you suggest people comment about Da Vinci, Rothko, Warhol, Baryshnikov, Donatello? I just didn't want to see the fine arts section watered down.

Please.
The antique bugle is British military, from 1915-1925. I doubt seriously that you will find anything like that at Home Goods. The antique frame is probably from about the 1930s at the latest. You also won't find that at Home Goods.
This is a thread about ORIGINAL ART. You won't find anything about DaVinci, Rothko, Warhol, etc under a thread titled "We want to see your original artwork."
I am a great lover of "Fine Arts," and always have been. This thread, however, is an outlier of sorts - since it's title is " we want to see your ORIGINAL artwork." Not sure if any of this art on this thread would be considered "fine art" by you, but in my opinion there's some fine art on this thread - as well as some mediocre art. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this particular thread isn't about Donatello or Baryshnikov or Reubens. It's showcasing original art - and my project is original art. You can like it or not - doesn't matter to me - but it doesn't change what it is, which is...wait for it...ORIGINAL ARTWORK.

People will never agree on the meaning of Fine Art.
Traditionally, Fine Art is more drawing-based but also includes sculpting and photography. Personally, I have trouble accepting Photography under that designation. The art world disagrees with me so I defer to their expertise. Tattooing is drawing-based so makes sense to be under Fine Art (regardless of my opinion of tattoos).
Repurposing objects is traditionally called Crafting, or Decorative Arts, if you prefer, which is more technique/design-based.
We seem to be moving toward encompassing all under "Visual Arts"
I love to repurpose interesting items. When my dad (who knows me so well) brought me this awesome antique bugle that he found at an estate sale, my mind went crazy! I had an antique frame that I'd snagged for next to nothing, just waiting for a project - and here's what I came up with:
I'd love to see a print of that arrangement, with bugle framed within a larger frame to include its total setting, on my wall. I love it.
Hi, Im new here. I mainly joined this site to share my artwork with a global audience. I've been creating art since I was a young lad. I mainly prefer to do portraiture. The materials I use vary from pastels, pencils, charcoal, and acrylic paint. I will be posting here repeatedly. Message me if you have some specific requests. Well here are examples of some of my pieces:
love your paintings but must admit the puppy is my favorite.
