Jake,
Will your artwork need a base? If so, what kind, wood/metal/size?
Lorrie

The piece is pretty light, and of course small. Its about 5" in diameter and roughly 11" tall(I tried to keep it in an 8" box, but it grew up a little, lol). I'll send a simple shelf that can be hung on the wall, but if you have a pedestal base handy and think it would look better that way feel free to display it how you think would be best. I really appreciated all of the work your putting into this, and giving us an opportunity to show our work.

hmmmm...
where exactly are we sending this...
i don't think i ever heard anything back after the first response...

Please email: lakeeriebum@yahoo.com and I will send you
the mailing address.

Thanks for the postings! I'll display the work as I see fit, unless you all give me specific instructions.

This is soo exciting!

Rick,
Thanks for the postings. I like the work, I see you like to dabble in different processes. I'm still in a very big learning curve, but like welding/plasma and repousse. See earlier post on mailing address for the show.

I hope to get my welding instructor where I work, to get us an Artmetalists sign. He has a big CNC plasma table, it kicks butt. He can knock out a design in minutes. I might have my CAD students draw us one up and then send it to him to cut. Any way I can distribute the work-I will! Ha!

Lorrie

I could CAD that up for you if you need.

Hi Lori,
I have a few pieces that would work for you but nothing with glass that relates to Toledo...is that okay...I would love to send my dragon...might be a bit larger then 8" but it's not heavy, would need a pedestal....would you rather have a wall piece.....let me know ...I can also email you some pictures and take it from there...thanks for this opportunity!!! SteelyJan

Lorrie,

If things work out I would like to just bring down a piece since I am only about 45 minutes away. Not sure what yet.
For pedestals, I have four that I could bring. They are made from 3" PVC and wood. Range from 24" to 32" high.

Warren,
Thanks for the offer, I think we can difinitely use them.
I don't mind meeting you half way. If you are near Monroe, that's an easy drive for me, and they have Pete's Garage-yummy!
Lorrie

Warren

Thanks for thinking of these. I'll need one for sure. I sure wish I could come up there. Having elbow surgery on the Friday the 13th! I was told that I will be down at least 2 weeks.

Rick,
How did your surgery go? Good thing you got your artwork
done before that-ha!
I just received your Fed-Ex notice, shipped today.
Hope your recovering well.
Lorrie

Jamie,
Send me what you have, don't worry about glass. I would prefer something on a pedestal since I got us a booth that
is for 3D work. It will be a mix of 2D/3D.
Thanks for participating.
Lorrie

Rick,
I would love it if you could draw something up.
I can read most formats. I'm thinking either something
along the back wall (maybe 8" tall x 5' long), or something
smaller that came up off the floor (2'-3'long)???
I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks,
Lorrie

Lorrie,
I have been slammed with commitments buy would love to send something that is a little larger than specified. Its round, just under 13" diameter. It is a wall hanger. What do you think?
Thanks
Sam

Sam,
Thanks for contributing. Send the piece, we will have a mininum of 1 wall, I might build out 2 walls if need be, so we should have plenty of room.
Thanks,
Lorrie

Did this for Lorrie. Does any one have a CNC plasma to cut the letters? The export from autocad does not do a good job capturing lines.

Great sign Rick

Rick,
I have access to a CNC plasma cutter, we'll get 'er done!
Lorrie

Jamie,
Did you see Warren's post, he has some stands we can use? By all means, market yourself. I'll try to bring a small stand to pass out business cards, etc. Send some if you have any.
This is coming together nicely.
Lorrie

Lorrie, I sent you a couple of emails, I have not heard back from you.

Hi Lorrie, I shipped my Dragon out today, you will have it by Friday...I'll send you an email also. Thanks for this opportunity....hope you will take some photos of the show....
Steelyjan

I heard from Lorrie that the dragon is fantastic. I hope we get some pictures from the show.

Hi Rob,
Glad you found the forum, it's not too late to show off your work. Please read the Group: Artmetalists for more information. Everyone is sending their work to me at my home. You can drop off your stuff, or I can meet you somewhere, I live in Oregon, OH. Email me at: lakeeriebum@yahoo.com for the address. I am on one of the committees for the art show. We are going to begin setting up our displays this Friday, so don't take too long.
Thanks,
Lorrie

OK, so maybe I have been smelling too many welding gas fumes, but I can't seem to upload my pic's into one blog reply, so please go to "recent images" to look at the art show booth setup pic's. It looks really nice, the pic's don't do it justice, especially when I'm taking them. Comments welcome. Thanks to everyone who has assisted with pulling it off.
Rick, sorry about the sign, we ran out of time.
