Saturday I spent the day finishing my final piece for the educational display. This piece which I did using sterling silver, is now cut, patina applied and mounted in the lid of a round wood box. I estimate that this piece alone took about 16 hours.
I now have 6 pieces of copper, each showing the various steps of the process and for the repousse and chasing sample, I did not finish half of the piece so the viewers can see what that step looks like during the repousse and the chasing.
Late on Saturday, I printed out the text to go into the case and pinned them to the walls of the liners. I also arranged the case as I THOUGHT it should be. I felt so good with it that I almost called BJ and told her not to come by on Sunday.
Remember that line from Star Wars "Don't Get Cocky, Kid!"....
On Sunday, BJ came over and we shuffled the set-up of the case around and discussed what works and what did not. The result is that the case layout is totally different. I have some printing to redo and some new printing to take care of - thus I am not done yet.
