This letter N took about three quarters of an hour to do: from cutting the metal blank from the side of the pot plant holder; through the foldforming of the letter; and finishing with a polish.
At the end of the process I felt at least I had done a little bit of art rather than none at all. So I will persist with my letters as they give me the chance to stop, do a little creative stuff and practice metal beating techniques.
Love that beaten metal... quite like it unpolished!
ReplyDeleteS Thanks - I like the fact that in the finished piece some of the markings, tarnish, patina and wear anf tear can still show through. B
