Upstream made into a Fountain

Chuck Girard - Sunday, June 14, 2009 - 4:09pm

Well, I finally decieded to make a sculpture I had saved into a Fountain.
I didn't turn out to bad for my first time.
As usual I learned a lot from this process.
It's been fun listening to the water. Very realaxing.

Hi Chuck, Hope you`re doing

Hi Chuck,
Hope you`re doing well.
I remember the sculpture, but don`t seem to recall the protective coat you put on, if you put any. The reason I mentioned this is that as a fountain, don`t you think those different tones may fade into a more stable rust color under the water? Unless you have a clear coat on I`m afraid that could happen. I would like to see it with the water on. Nelson.

HI Nelson, Doing pretty

Chuck Girard - Saturday, June 20, 2009 - 10:37pm

HI Nelson,
Doing pretty Good!
Hope all is well with you.
I did Clear coat the piece, but I'm letting it Rust out some more and then I'm going to try and seal it again.
I really like the Orange and Black stains But I'm trying to get rid of the Green Patina in the Sculpture.
If you want to see it operate Check Out YOU TUBE under:
Upstream by Chuck Girard

Working on another Fountain, which is much bigger and three dimensional. Hopefully the nest one will be even better?

Peace!!!
