Powder wrapping.

Post by AnotherDano »

This piece had a dropout and was about to hit the recycle bin. So, why not play with it.

I wanted an old, pitted iron look. The piece was shot with Silver vein, cured and then shot from behind (only) with Statuary Bronze, to get just the wrap-around effect.

Too much Bronze powder,,, a little less next time.

The picture doesn't capture the deep green aged-bronze patina, nor does it show the amount of the silver high-lites. But it's the right direction. What a wonderful business we're in. The powder coaters would puke at this job. But for us, it's 'ART"!

I would have just welded the dropout back in, I have to do that every now and then. The finish looks very nice! :D

That was my first thought. But them I looked under the table.

Three months since I cleaned under there. I'd never find that teeny piece.

I even thought about moving that letter to an uncut part of the sheet and recreating one. 8-)
