my final piece is finished
The wee urn-thing is finished. It's about 3.75" high. It started out as a 9" circle of 18 gauge copper that I raised using hammers and stakes made of wood and iron. It was fascinating to see how everyones' urns were different--some had taller necks, some were squatter, etc. We patinaed them using liver of sulfur and heat, and then I used very fine steel wool to take the patina off the high points and clean off the matte finish. It was waxed inside and outside to keep the finish.
Whew. That was a lot of work. My right arm is now significantly stronger and more muscled than my left. :-)
Saturday I'm going to (hopefully) take the cats to get their shots and then go see Danny Boyle's Frankenstein at the Alamo Drafthouse South with
