beth Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 jeffro thats a lovely box, i really like it - sounds like a nice course too - i like the patterns and textures youve chosen. look forward to seeing the square one :) Quote
cvmikeray Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Purdy - Hey I have one of those !!! This was a great class. Being a member of your local clubs does pay us back !!! Bob is a great artist and great to work with. He is giving a class close to the one we did at the folk school next week. I put a few links. Bob has a whole collection of artwork and if you should have a chance, check out one of the events he attends. I have several of his works and they are outstanding !!http://www.facebook.com/pages/Coppersmith-Robert-Taylor/271910132856248https://www.folkschool.org/https://www.folkschool.org/index.php?section=class_detail&class_id=5229 Allsion works in Jewelry in copper also.http://www.alabamadesignercraftsmen.com/pages/artists/bohorfoush.htm That project looks great and when I presented mine everyone freaked out. What reactions did you get from your family when they saw it? Quote

jeffro1205 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) the guy that taught me in the class, his name is Robert Taylor... He teaches some classes at a folk art school in north carolina and lives here just outside of birmingham Al. look up some of his work at "Al.com" otherwise I would be happy to share what I have learned... maybe I can post some how to pics Edited January 24, 2012 by jeffro1205 Quote
ramsies11 Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 i think these would make a really really nice bp! right now im looking for just those boxes in a plain way, nothin fancy. Quote
jeffro1205 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 Just got the camera out and there are some new pics. got the square and another oval box the square has 2 very different lids and the oval has a different lid as well. as soon as i can get my brother in law over here with his camera we can see about some how to pics but for now...I still have to clean and color them but you get the point of what i am trying to do... so please let me know what you think thanks jeff Quote

cvmikeray Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Looking good !! Did you try that texture tool yet? You need to grind a profile on it at hit it with a scotch bright pad or buffing wheel. Quote
beth Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 these are lovely jeff! i would love to see photos of the stages really saleable items too - very appealing to wide range of people i should think. keep making them! Quote
Unforgivun Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Not only is he a pretty face, he's also a good teacher. :D Bare in mind that this still has to be cleaned and soaked to add the patina. Quote
