Amphora Mixed Media
Or Treasure From The Deep
Its not finished yet but aiming for a themed piece ...... not done one in a while..... The Amphora has been aged with
metal reactive coatings ( paint ) in bronze ... brass... iron and verdigris...rust and sapphire patinas.....For a better word
the base ? is powertex very similar if not the same to paverpol ..... unsure yet which way to go as far as colouring
the rope .... net ... sand.
As Always Comments Are Welcome

The texturnig looks much too heavy for my taste.
Happy new year too you both I will look forward to seeing you at Yandles.

Happy New Year George..... Happy New Year Les. And A Happy New Year To Each And All.
George With the texture on the Amphora I was aiming for how a bronze Minoan amphora might look like after years under
the sea and how things and texture might change.
Looking Forward To Catching Up Sometime in April.
Les Its been a while since we have had the time to concentrate on a themed piece..... not there yet the rope might
turn into metal cable.... age problem though ;D

Happy New Year Di & Tony
Great to see another of your piece's. I love it!!!
To me the mounting as either got to be looking as if it was also brought up with the pot, which I feel would take something away from the pot. Or a complete contrast like white or gold.
Looking forward to seeing the finished piece.
All the best

Happy New Year Ed
Agree and that's the dilemma at the moment .... Leave it as if it was just brought up and aged... or clean it up and
make the support brighter ... As with most of this type of piece it will probably change colour a few times before
its finished... Decisions Decisions ;D ;D

This is going to be a nice piece and as I said elsewhere some old weathered rope from a boat yard would go down nicely
