During the week I completed the last 20 of the Leaf Letter Openers - all 100 are now completed; and sent off the the commissioning company. Good to have the 100 pieces out there; but like many commissions it was a bit taxing.

In the end I probably started about 130 Leaf Letter Openers; and completed about 110. Twenty (20) did not make the end of the creation process as the recycled metal could not handle the stress of the fold forming and fractured.

Ten were not included in the delivery because of length - perfectly good Leaf Letter Openers but not the dimension I specified in the quote. These will find a home in my online shop and Maleny Additions.

As indicated in my Friday post - the completion of this commission frees me up to create more bowls; Travellers' Shrines; and larger sculptural pieces.
Good to be done, eh? They look lovely and well presented in their boxes. Have a great week!
ReplyDeletehi Barry, I am having terrible trouble reading your blog as the Grey background with black text hasn't enough contrast for my old eyes and I really like reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteHi VA & P - thanks for stopping by. VA - good commission - but good to have it behind me. P - sorry about the contrast - I will see what I can do. Go well. B
