This is my latest birdie. Im heading of this weekend to a summer art festival at a large quite posh estate house. Im kinda hoping for a few rich landowners to come along willing to spend.... I live in hope
Thats amazing!!! those spiky feathers must make it real tricky to move and carry! One of my goals is to eventually be able to make a bird sculpture. How do you make the feathers?
That is quite beautiful!
Even Littl'un likes it, and she has a tendency to roll her eyes indifferently at anything I mistakenly think she may like.
?Is that Corten on the breast? he said sounding like he know what he is on about.
Ye they are a real s**t to move. Ive just been down to pick 3 of them up for exhibit this weekend and they were a real pain to move especially as I was on my own. The feathers are all individually cut with the plasma and tacked on from the bottom up to hide the welds. If you check out " how to build a Red Kite from steel" on you tube there is a bit on there about how I mark and cut the feathers. You can get 2 rows of them from 1 line which saves a bit of cutting
Thanks for the advise I'll definitely have a look. The main thing I was wondering was whether it was done with a plasma. I really need to get myself one!!
good luck with the sales mate, after seeing your portfolio grow youl have no problem shifting it to those tight scots
Shirazman you sound like an art whore.
Go for it.
A lot of them are actually quite nice people.
A while back on here somebody said of me 'I thought you were a hippy but no you are capitalist'
A cheap solution to the shed problem is a poly tunnel structure, my friend use one, a decent size about 4x5m ish cost about £200 for materials and a days work to out it up.
Ramsay....as always your work makes me just sit and look, with a rather slack jaw as well, wife thinks they are fantastic...
