			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have just completed a new metal sculpture titled &#8216;Out of the blue&#8217; and it is another artwork created from steel tubing and metal boules. I chose the title as; the idea did literally come out of the blue, it is painted with a range of blues and I am a big fan of blues and rhythm &#8216;n&#8217; blues music.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class=" alignnone" title="Funky Boule Chair" src="http://www.ashwinstudio.co.uk/gallery/contemporary-furniture/funky-boule-chair.jpg" alt="http://www.ashwinstudio.co.uk/contemporary-furniture.php" width="500" height="403" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Modern Metal Boule Chair" src="http://www.ashwinstudio.co.uk/gallery/contemporary-furniture/modern-boule-chair.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="503" /></p>
<p>I reclaimed the metal tubing from scrap roll cages, then selected and cut sections I liked the shape of and added additional bends to get the flowing organic shape I was after. Also, as I cleaned the tubing up I really liked the polish and grind marks so continued it across the entire chair and to preserve this finish I have used a clear metal sealer and lacquer. The metal balls welded on the feet and arms are from a second hand French boule set (otherwise known as pétanque).</p>
<p>I&#8217;m really pleased with this and already have had a lot of interest in the chair. I am already constructing two side tables in a similar style and hopefully more chairs &#8211; but each one will be unique!</p>
