Car is still sick so i walked up the industrial estate and got another couple of bits of "off cut" copper, again about a mill, 'cos i never learn. Anyway, to compound my stupidity i have decided bowls can rest for a few days and i'd do something newish. I decided to do a mask, you might recognise it. Printed out and stuck down with PVA i didn't feel like drawing it all out. I bashed through the paper with the lining chisel and small hammer to get the outline.
Then burned it off (its what he would have wanted).. Looks creepy ah.
But not half as creepy as.....
When its ashes.. anyway the lines came out Ok, and yes its supposed to be fat looking, its flat and will end up curved to wrap round a face...
After a bit of hammering, looks like the poor chap has a allergy problem, but that can be sorted out. I do feel that maybe this wont work, or its beyond my skill set. Ever regret starting something? I did about half way today, but being a bit dim i carried on anyway. I can always hammer it flat again, maybe....

ReplyDeleteI have a friend that has been looking for something like this to put in his home for awhile now! Do you sell your art? Do you do custom images for your customers? This is way too cool!
ReplyDeleteI do indeed sell stuff and do commisions. What were you thinking of?
