Permission

Casting

When do you need permission to sculpt or paint a famous person? I can understand if you do something of George Washington or someone from history. What bout someone like John Wayne, Tom Landry, Ronald Reagan, or someone like that?

 This is a Oil burning All Copper Moravian Candle. The red ribbon is copper but has been powder coated to create a durable red color. I am looking for a tool that I don't know the name of. Tinsmiths use this to roll the edge of the handles and the lip of cups. I make a lot of these Moravian Candles and the handles for the candle holders take so much time to hand hammer the rolled edge. Please let me know if anyone knows of such a tool and where can I could possibly get one.


Acid for copper mesh?

Hi guys and girls
Working on a life size fairy at the moment, she will be naked dancing in a ring of magical mushrooms. Contemplating wings and a while ago saw some copper bowls made from very fine copper mesh, they had been treated with some form of acid which discoloured and ate some of the copper, the result was a truly beautiful fragility. Does anyone know what the acid might be?
