Hi Jamie,
Thank you very much. It probably took around twenty hours to cut out, shape and attach the feathers.I don't keep track of time on projects.

Hi QuiQue,
Thank you for your compliment. This sculpture is around thirty inches long.
Frank

That is an absolutely stunning eagle, very very impressive. Will it be coloured or will it be clear lacquered? I think it would be nice to galv then mordant wash and buff the high lights and clear lacquer. It gives the look of polished steel imho. Great work
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
Thank you for the encouraging compliment.I am thinking of having the sculpture galvanized, and then trying to color the beak with wax. Both process are new territory for me. I don't know what mordant wash is.
Frank

Hi G,
Thank you. My goal was to portray the spirit of the Eagle, so your comment is reassuring.
Frank

Hi Peggy,
Thank you for the nice compliment.

Hi Rob,

Frank,
Hey your eagle really came out great. The thing looks massive. Great feathers and contour of the head. So did you keep saying over to yourself.............only XX more &*^%*^$%* feathers to do.

Hi Warren,
Thanks.After the first sixty or so feathers, I barely went around the bottom twice. This was a bit alarming.I utilized an old home-made brake to bend the feathers, and that really sped up matters.I used up a whole sheet of steel.Honestly, I never got tired of doing this piece though. It really was medicine for my body and soul.

Hi Chuck,
Thank you. Speaking of galleries,I need to start marketing my wares.I'm running out of room!
Frank

I think you should market your wares, and I would like to suggest setting up your own website to start...galleries want to see online portfolios. Everyone has an audience, and I believe your work will do well! I love the big pieces. It's amazing what one can create. Again I really like this piece that your working on. Good luck with your creations!

Cheers!

Hi Jamie,
I do at least have a blog, although it is rather unsophisticated. Thanks.

Hi Frank!!!
I think I was away in Croatia when this eagle was posted. It just came up on the random image (by the way..that's a brilliant feature) and I was blown away by this piece. It's totally one of the best eagles I've ever seen....absolutely beautiful...SteelyJan
