Wow! It is amazing what you can do with the right found objects. I especially love the way you made the base. Lin » reply |

Metal Skeleton By Jacob John
This is so amazing I was looking for inspiration and now I've found it.I am currently taking a course called "Metal Frabrication 11" and I am loving it so much!Works of art like yours have really encouraged me through.Without the offering of this course I would have never found my true calling of what I love to do and can do as a job is amazing.Unfortunately the trades these days are looked down and and I don't think that should be the case.Me and my family think that the trades are just as imortant as academics and should be encouraged in schools not looked down at and frownerd upon.Women are still scarce in the trades and this is truly demonstrated in highschool course,I am the only girl in my metal work class.More boys join and the trades are seen as a manly proffession so women are discuraged and turn to more traditionally courses such as cooking and textiles.Not that these courses aren't important I just wish the trades were seen in the same ways these courses are.What I'm really interested in is how you made the skull?I've tried many ideas and none of them have worked.Thank You very much for your time in reading this.Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to see your new pieces!
