More Aluminum Mannequin work

Got a little more done on Monique's head. Apologies to those who have seen this also on another site.

Monique's aluminum face

|

I managed to get the face pretty much done. Made a female hammer form to rough out the shape. Shrunk a football shape to get started then hammered into the form to rough out.. Then hammered over the mannequin face for more detail before going to the pitch pot.. This was a test piece but even though I had to repair a couple blow outs, it came out good enough that I'm going on to other parts now.


Monique 4

Have been busy on another project but last week I attended a regional MetalMeet at Dutch Comstock's shop in upstate NY and while there I spent considerable time working on Monique.

Spent most of my time working on Monique's shoulders and back. LOTS and LOTS of shape! LOTS!


Monique 3

Had to help my son yesterday so I didn't get to weld until this morning. I had some trouble getting decent welds...guess I forgot how in the past two weeks.


Monique -2

Monique has been whining that I never paid any attention to her so I took her up to the yearly Bugly distributor kickoff meeting and got to spend some quality time with her...


Monique - a sculpture....Caution - content may be considered 'racy'

Several of my artist buddies encouraged me to post this over here since you have to be a member to see the saga on the MetalMeet site. 

Last year I got a new manniquin...I'm SOOOO tired of making bowls.
