My first ABSTRACT, in stone
It has taken me two years to even say the word but I have been working on the Polar Bear for so long I needed a break. I had this piece of Translucent Peach Alabaster since one of the trips to Prescott looking for a home. I finally did something with it. It was tough, about half way into it I started carving a snake through it. I brought it home and showed my wife, she said "what the hell are you doing, this is supposed to be abstract" the next day I cut the snake out, cut some holes in it and moved on. I cast the base in bronze, the bottom was a free pour and the upper section was cast then welded to the base, heated and I applied some patina. It's ok, my first ever real abstract. I will call it Portals in the sun.
Photography is hard with this stuff, but it might look good in someone's girlfriends beauty shop http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1459653745.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1459653802.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1459653871.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1459653907.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1459653938.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1459653966.jpg |

well I can't see the pictures, what's up??

Hmm, yeah, I can't either. And if you try to browse to the URL, it gives a file not found
I've added a space to the URLs so we could see them. Very odd. I wonder if Wayne is working on the servers or something. http:// forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads25/IMG_18211459653745.jpg http:// forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads25/IMG_18281459653802.jpg http:// forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads25/IMG_18291459653871.jpg http:// forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads25/IMG_18301459653907.jpg http:// forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads25/IMG_18311459653938.jpg http:// forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads25/IMG_18321459653966.jpg |
Definitely issue related to the new servers.

What a tease, Dean . Are you whipping your audience into a frenzy of anticipation.
I'm courious about the process, does the piece of material talk to you? Guiding you to the natural shape within? Or do you start with a certian shape/ form in mind? And craft the material into the shape? Inquiring minds want to know. Cheers Richard |

There is some work being done on the servers or something at Pelican right now.
Folks are having trouble posting pics all over the country |

I posted the pictures but they came up sideways, I will try again tomorrow and if it's the same I will turn them first and try it again.
I copied the pictures, turned them right a quarter but they still printed out here left a quarter. Progress tho, at least they post. Tomorrow. |
Cool! Looks good dean!

fish-wise, it does look like a salmon steak, with finger holes.
the base is pretty cool. as well |

You have to take the picture in landscape mode when using a phone, in order for them to upload properly.

I'm not normally an abstract kind of guy, but that's really cool.

Neat design Dean, beautiful red stone. Did you say you got it near Prescott Az?
Really like the puddle of metal stand also. Cheers Richard |
Very cool, nice project.
