Nice. Are you doing pay pet click or anything?

 

[chunkolini]

No, dont even know what that is.
I done think it is worth paying for promotion; you are just competing with other people paying for the same thing.

 

[Ton-up]

There's some cracking stuff on your website!

 

[Kent]

No, dont even know what that is.

I shouldn't imagine competition for your thing is vast. But it just depends on the words
I do think pay per click has taken marketing away from webpages and onto various social media though
If I search say joiners in Clitheroe I honestly don't want to get through two pages of joiners not in Clitheroe but ready to pay for the wording
My own webpage is way difficult to find without the address or links through other social media or advertising

Just had a look at your website, was moved by the stories on the memorial sculpture page.

Progress report.
On Friday i was not happy with the head, he looked horribly cute. I almost lopped the sucker off.
But I left it and had a rework of it today.

Probably happy now, I might do some shaping around the eyes

 

[Kent]

its an issue I suppose when you are not "caracturing?" a real creature but one already "caractured ?"

 

[AdrianH]

Saw your shelving solutions, reminds me of the old 'Ladderex' system I have in the garage, something I have had for 50 years now and still going.

Good site,

Adrian

Kent, you have hit the nail on the head. What does the real thing look like?
I used an OHP to scale the outline to the size I wanted. 'Oh but it is wrong' says some wag.
I have put it up on facebook and had great reactions from people in Wales. I would say he is ok then.
This is what I had first go, I think soft flowy lines had taken over my style of work. Fool; Dragons are spiky.
The first attempt was almost binned, but some retrospective surgery seems to have saved him.

 

[Kent]

The head looks better the closer you zoom in

I think the sum of the issue is as above. Some will want it exactly like the dragon on the flag. I do mean exactly too some have no appreciation for interpretation and art

If you had a commission for Mickley mouse would you change him? Likely no but with so many dragon images about its different

 

[chunkolini]

We have tongue now, or rather had three tongues and four fittings for the final one.

he has a break of a few days as I have another job to start. or does he?
I was pleased with the tongue in the end.

 

[chunkolini]

Probably finished.
or not.
I might grind the band over the head down a bit and add a few small spikes.
Then galv or rusty? or rusty and varnished.

 

[Kent]

Rusty for sure imo varnished or not. Can't think of it in galv at all

 

[chunkolini]

I think rust him then it can be galv'ed if needed.
But rusty for sure.

 

[Kent]

The galv firm might make you blast it if you take that route

 

[chunkolini]

Thelast lot I spoke to were ok about rust as it goes in a pickle tank first.

 

[Kent]

Yeah it does but the place that dominates the nw sends stuff back that's to rusted and gets you to blast it. Just be aware or check thier limits before you make the client promises that's all
Wedge galv are rubbish but have removed the competition you see
