I thought it was a clever post title as in "Your avin a giraffe" Imagine my surprise to find it was actually a giraffe and a very beautiful one too, well done mate

Mr Snooper go to the back of the class.
Tall order in deed.
I put the ammonium chloride on her two days ago to start the rusting process.




Perfick! no signs of any joins she looks seamless.
I was asked yesterday if I had had her laser cut out of sheet metal.
Luckily the owner wants me to hang onto her until September, this means she will be around for my artweek event.

 

[mike os]

looks even better now.... whens the open week chunko? (ps I hate you even more now )

 

[strada]

Perfick indeed mr chunkolini
Looks fantastic.

Oh lordy, MikeOS,
I have an internet stalker. I have arrived.
Open studios event? 7th to 15th of September.
Nearer the date I will post an invite in the social club.

Excellent work indeed, as always.

There's a huge man made of what looks like m12 washers on a roundabout near where I was brought up and I've often wondered if he was washers tacked together or some elaborate profiled/pressed arrangement. , I will take a closer look next time I'm down that way.

If you google image "chartist sculpture Blackwood" theres many pictures.

I particularly like the close up of the foot

[Cris B]

I have to day I think that this is my favourite Chunkolini creation to date. Top work

 

[Moosevan]

Just been down to see the Giraffe and Chunkolini's other work at the H'Art 'event' and it's even better "in the flesh"! Absolutely brilliant!

Amazing talent, sir! Not envious at all - no, not me...

Excellent work Chunkolini, I really love this piece. This is the most realistic work I think I have seen of yours, you have really captured the gracefulness and movement of the giraffe perfectly.

 

[chunkolini]

Cheers for the comments, as the rusty finish develops the surface is looking much more unified, if it is sunny tomorrow I get a photo.
Euan (Moosevan) it was great to meet up today, your family were nice to meet and what splendid facial hair, we must catch up again sometime.
Good luck with your built in Tazer. That is some mad technology.

 

[chunkolini]

A couple of photos taken today.
The finish is much more consistent, but has a while to go until properly developed.


The customer is bringing his wife on a mystery tour on Friday.
Lets hope she likes it.

 

[Norm]

If your luck's anything like mine she'll love it, but ask if you can clean the rust off for them.

 

[chunkolini]

Dont!
