RedStarIronworksSMA Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hello Everyone, We finished this piece in late March The first drawing is of an idea for a sculpture to be turned into a 3D life size or about 6 foot 2 inch piece. The second picture is of Noe one of our Mexican students cleaning up the details of the scupture. Third picture is getting close to being finished. Fourth is the back details. Fifth is with the disc bases attached and final sanding to avoid any rough areas that might snag the fine silks. And the final 3 pics are of the sculpture installed. We moved our primary production facility to San Miguel de Allende where we live and have been training locals in our way of forging metal. Let us know what you think. Very Best Regards, Preston ps...we need to shoot some pics against a white background without silk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfootnampa Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I like very much the way that you've suggested the figure impressionistically rather than in a more realistic way!! It gives the impression of motion and a slight mist of mystery! Exceedingly well done!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedStarIronworksSMA Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Thanks Guys, We had a production facility in Pittsbourg for 12 years and have moved most of our production to where I am living in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato Mexico. This was a fun project, but took 3 times as long as we had planned...about 5 weeks and of that 2 weeks were just for cleaning up the welds and smoothing edges...amazing how many times we went over the piece thinking all the rough stuff was gone, only to continue to find things that could snag the US$450 silks. Very Best Regards, Preston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedStarIronworksSMA Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Hi Everyone, Well we finally got the local magazine to get a couple of good shots of 'The Figurine' This shows it off much better than with the silks and plants in the background.
