Heavy Metall

Now then, lets give you a hand with a mate, Frank (better mark those words, if everything goes right LOL). saved12

Slowly " Heavy Metal " emerges. Did not like the original drwawing I copied onto the stone, so I'm going to do that one entirely freehand and lets see where it goes.



OK, so finally all the carving and polish is done. No more black hands. The only thing remaining is shoulder-strap and strings. Hopefully I will be done with that by 2morrow.

Boy ohhh boy that material works out fantastic. Its so dirty and bad for your lungs to work with, but once done, it seems to glow in the dark. Have been working this only outdoors and with face-mask permanently mounted, yet still a metallic taste in the mouth everyone of those days. So contradictory: its likely one of the worst materials to work with for your lungs, yet Lore says that wearing it should heal your lungs. dunno28

Here is a progress shot


Shadow-play plus showing grain and clear agate running right through the piece


And finally the best shots of the finished piece thus far with the angle it should be hanging once worn.



Thanks for bearing with me that long on this project.

Could not get the right seize of wire for the strings, so I just put up copper-wires for the time being and to be replaced by gold-wire (by a professional).
Still need to find a bail too. something that will hold the chain (shoulderstrap) in two places to avoid turning.

But overall, thats it.



Best regards, Kurt
