straight Deco-ation
Hey all,
This is the project that I'm working on this weekend.
I was a bit tired of doing the same type of styles for scales, so i challenged myself to see how light I could make a set of metal scales and still keep them functional, artistic and elegant.
After playing with sketches of different styles, this Art Deco type design was the winner this time around.
Here is the origional sketch and the first scale cut.
enjoy, and have a great weekend!

That is one of my favorite ones that you have done. You have a great eye for design and the talent and know how to follow through with it. You rock!

I always open threads started by you with great anticipation!
And yet again, it contains some truly wonderful works of art.
I am so impressed with these scales you make.

I really need to stop looking at your threads (or any of this forum for that matter), I've had more ideas sparked in my head than I have razors to put em on.
