Painting and etching



I've been too busy for posting. These images were taken last week after I painted them with white and blue rust resistant paint.

I intend etching holes into the surface of the copper (which is the spiral) of the shell object. This is being done as I write.

For the funnel object I sprayed the paint through the stainless steel mesh onto the funnel shape to give the idea of layering. The unpainted surface has been rusting ever since.

I am not very happy with the blue colour of both pieces. It seems too bright and pure. Nor am I happy with the shell shape - naive. They are a start though. At the weekend I forged a few more components for work and will play with them.
