Hanging fireworks collage



Getting to the idea.
While working on my necklace of fireworks, Janice suggested that the wire-wrapped fireworks would also look good in a panel or frame. I had some wood left over from my rocks-in-a-cube project, so I knew I could easily make a small wooden frame, and did the next day, Sunday, June 1, 2008.
The idea for using a weathered wooden 2 x 4 board for the base came during the planning and early construction phases--before I had assembled the basic wooden frame.  Lacking a table saw, I decided to use an electric chainsaw to cut and rough up the board for the base.  
I just love small-scale fireworks and this panel is a perfect way to display them for frequent viewing.  I plan to build several or more of these hanging fireworks panels (after I replenish my nearly depleted fireworks supply).  One idea is to make one of these panels and light all the fireworks...I can only imagine how cool that charred object will look.


Making it.
