Subject: Project Neon and mixed media sculpture


Quoted text begins.I was wondering if anybody has worked with metal or glass inlays in their
sculpture. (gold, silver, babbit, stained glass, and etc.) I have this
turtle that I carved a long time ago that now seems to need some sharp
contrasting segmentation, any ideas?
daed
End of quote.


Awhile back someone (I think it may have been our lucky13) posted pics of a
woman who combined stone and aluminum in layers in her work.I think this is
something like Daed is asking about and it's also something a friend would
like to look into.So the point is(you knew I'd get to it sooner or later)
what's her name?A link would be great too,I have one in my files somewhere
but I'll only be able to find it after I get a new one(the lost sock
syndrome at work again).

Thanks,

Bob

PS-Daed,there's an alloy that melts in boiling water and actually expands
slightly when cooling.It's used to fix odd shaped parts to be machined.If
you'd like I can dive off into the black hole file and try to find a
source.I've seen it used by wood sculptors to good effect.
