My first sculpture

Israel - Tuesday, October 30, 2012 - 11:06pm

This is a picture I took of my first attempt at metal sculpture. It is the base and trunk of a giant sequoia tree. It looks a bit shiny, it needs coloring of some sort, I have not figured that part out yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I guess I never thought that the picture would be laying on its side, lol.

Cleaning copper

Dick Roberts - Thursday, April 19, 2012 - 11:23pm

When I make copper sculptures I wire brush the end product to clean it up. I am now making some miniature copper sculptures and it is hard to get into the tight spots with a wire brush to clean the residue left from brazing. Is there a way that I can dip them into a liquid solution to get the brazing residue cleaned up and then wire brush the rest to clean it up? Would there be a simple solution of something like pool chemicals or house hold cleaners? I am not interested in getting into acids.

dvd about my work - in french -

artdeev - Saturday, September 10, 2011 - 3:23am

This is a link to a dvd on youtube about my Metal Art Sculptures. It is in french, I live in France, but I believe images tell more than words.

For me, the great joy in my work comes from turning something considered worthless into the artwork it becomes. In this way I am showing my respect for the metal.

The art of dance

A Real Smith - Monday, September 5, 2011 - 8:47pm

This is a table top sculpture I have enjoyed working on. The mild steel is about 24" tall and has a painted finish. I am now working on a pair that are 7' tall and love how they are coming out.

Hope you enjoy.....

My thoughts about craft store metal "art"

scrapironmatron - Monday, February 7, 2011 - 7:14pm

commercial art | metal art

Went to a large craft store this weekend... I was in Germany for the past three years and didn't have access to such places. I was surprised and a bit overwhelmed by the isles and isles of metal wall art, topiaries and such. For some reason, I found it a bit depressing... The stuff was being sold cheaper than what it would cost me in materials... I'm not looking to get rich by any means... but, how do you compete with mass market made in China-especially in this economy? Or, perhaps you don't try to...

Hello, I'm new here.

Short about me :^)

First I must to apologise for my horroble English.
I'm 31 old and I'm Polish sculptor and armourer. Most of my realisations are replicas and stylisations of the helmets...in this category my favorite subject is creating of masked helmets and portrait-masks.
