J W Bennett Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 A set of 8 Napkin Rings. Each ring is forged from a single piece of 3/8" round bar 13" long. Finish is brass brush and clear enamel. Went into town this morning to buy some fancy cloth napkins for the photo's. went several places. I got a kick out of the sales lady's expressions when I asked for help. Guess they aren't used to having a 280 pound man in bibs and work boots coming in looking for fancy napkins. Never did find the napkins but I got a good chuckle... Quote
Steve McCarthy Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Those really look nice John. I'm going to have to learn that Russian rose. There are so many places it could be used. Quote
dkunkler Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 They look great John, I really like the detail on the leaves. Quote
Marksnagel Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Beautiful roses. Really nice details. Quote
CurlyGeorge Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 WOW!! I love the way they look. That brass finish really sets them off. Thanks for sharing, John. :) Quote
bigfootnampa Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 They look GREAT! Try antique stores for nice napkins... Irish linen shops too. Craig's list also. Quote
2Tim215 Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Those came out stunning. I really enjoy the one pc rose - do a lot of candle holders in them. Have you tied a wood stain on steel that has been wire brushed - gives a really nice finish and subtle color tint. Quote
Dillon Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Very nice, I am going to try this soon. So its just 3/8 round stock and then on the end you made a russian rose? Also i have been brass brushing some other roses lately, but they don't turn out this deep in color. Do you have any suggestions on how I van obtain that deep bronze color? Quote
beth Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 what little stunners!!! so cute! how do you do your leaf edges like that? Really think theyre sweet :) Quote
