A Man & his Gunnar.
Posted: Mon 19 Aug, 2013 9:04 pm
Firstly, it was recommended that rather then plague the forum with various posts I should keep them to one thread. So hear it is. I will update here with future projects.
Secondly, here is a collection of various pieces I've recently done that mainly, on a whole, required the Gunnar to achieve.
The McLaren
As seen before but here with some close ups.
The Oasis.
Top right shows you how it arrived to me, left is how it exited the building and bottom right a detail (all mount work).
Halo Night.
This was a personal piece for my brother, who moved to the other side of the country.
The move brought about the end of a tradition among friends for what was Friday Night Halo Night.
Land's End to John o' Groats.
For Christmas a lady brought in her boyfriends bike chain from the famous route he had done earlier that year.
It was idea to form the UK with a guess at the bike route. I would of liked the chain to of actually followed his route. But as it was a surprise she couldn't ask him.
The Marzipan Lily.
Nightmare job, much like the bike chain. Every other pearl link is hand stitched down.
Torres Shirt.
A standard shirt stretch much like the above but with a complicated mimic drawing of the Anfield Gates. Used gold and white pens on black mount.
The Map.
Reverse side of the map had a wax finish so nothing would take to it. My order for a roll of Melinex hadn't arrived so used the method I saw in a Scottish Castle on the properties deeds.
Fishing line in a grid system across the map. Top right shows map on a whole. Top left is a close up showing how subtle the fishing line can be. Bottom image is set at such an agle so the line catches the light to show where it is.
