Post sculptures from your favorite FAA artist or post on your own if you have made them

As these are all via photo of the art...PLEASE make sure it was made by you or an FAA artist

And let us look past the photography aspect and see the cool sculpture. Thanks!



Only POSITIVE things here...this is NOT a GRIPE Thread.......Or CRITIQUE Thread



Check out the sculpture category and add some from the artist even if you do not know them

We have some really cool artist and sculptures here.

David Patterson

I create glass sculpture every year about this time...they are very heavy, and I use another glass artist to assist me.

David Patterson

I love Peter's Whirlybird above!

Michelle Calkins

Glass is something I'd like to try sometime...that piece is beautiful David!

Dan Daugherty

I agree, David....Thats Awesome work... Thanks Andee... I was working on finishing Jeeve's Partner Abigail... Should be finished tomorrow.

Peter's Whirly Bird is one of my Favorites and I Love La Corolla! Never seen that one before.

Great thread

Dan Daugherty

Tony's Sculptures are interesting. This one, I can relate to... as most of us probably can.

Tony Murray

Thanks Dan. I had a vision of that sculpture while I lay face Down on Snowy Mountain Vermont, on St. Patricks Day. At the time, I was paralyzed from the neck down and couldn't even feel myself breathing. The work itself is a composite of lost wax investment casting, CNC machined Aluminum billet and old house plumbing. The face is mine, I covered my face in layers of Aluminum foil then placed the foil in plaster of paris and then I filled the blank with hot wax. when it cooled I peeled away the foil and used to wax to cast a 440 stainless steel.

There are no welds of any kind each piece will come apart again like a lego. I transport it that way in about 6 sections. It only weighs about 80 lbs.

Last summer I was putting it together for a show and it took me about an hour to put it together because I forgot how it went.

Lynn Palmer

I love kinetic art...

Dan Daugherty

Was that from a skiing accident? Wow...80 Lbs. This is what you were talking about when you mentioned Weight regarding Sculptures the other day. Good thing it comes apart...LOL..Need Tabs A and B...LOL

Lynn Thanks... A-star-isk, is kinetic only in the fact that it hangs and always seems to be moving. I think Implied movement is an interesting concept also. It pretty much seemed to tell me how it wanted to be built.

Magia Gomez

Great thread and sculptural works here.

I love Otil"s Paper works.

Here's a artist who seems to work with all sorts of materials:

Dan Daugherty

Here is My "Torchlight" sculpture. It's an example of Implied Movement.

I guess you can't post certain video's anymore. Here's a link.

The star portion is suspended by a single point right?

David Patterson

Here is a new glass sculpture of mine!

Andee Photography

That is beautiful David! ;)

Here's Adam Long's winning piece from the contest - 3D Sculpture The Head...

description: A womans face is created from the natural materials of preserved Japanese Beetle exoskeletons, leaf stems and recycled paper in this wall-hanging relief sculpture.

Dan Daugherty

Love the Cowboy Guitar!

Congrats to Adam on Winning the Contest! Very nice piece!

I didn't have any Heads, so I had to sit this one out...LOL

Andee Photography

Very cool Congrats to Adam as well!

Dan I read someone saying you needed to do a thread on tips and tricks or something like that on Sculptures.

I totally think you should. The behind the scenes if you will and a thread that someone could find by the title.

That way any other 'sculptures' could come fine it. We can keep this one open too but the more focus on

sculpture the more...well you all get seen. Think about it if it would be too much that is fine but think about it.

Or if you wanted to add it to this one that is fine. I opened this one to show case the FAA Sculpture artist

Think about it! :)

Dan Daugherty

Andee... In any case, there probably should be a Thread on the technical aspect of Sculpture, but that would probably work better in a group setting. And there is an awesome group on Sculptures. The issue would be the diverse types of sculptures, (ceramic, Clay, Bronze and Metal) and the ways different Sculptors Join their materials.

Great Idea, and something to think about for sure. One thing we need to make clear, As far as Sculptors go...I'm certainly not anywhere near the top, and There are plenty that use far more sophisticated tools than I do. I guess what I'm saying is I don't think I would be that qualified on the tips and tricks part.

Andee Photography

Dan you could open a thread for others to post in and share what each one knows and feels like sharing...And stop

being hard on yourself. You have some cool stuff. I would love to see that thread. A group I would not join since I do

not do any but would love to see it pop up over here and peak in and maybe say cool! ;) But no stress if you do not

want to ...just a thought from me to get more eyes and interest and GOOGLE hits..... all about Google seeing things!

Some cool stuff on this site sculpture wise.

Dan Daugherty

Wow...Great pieces... And a New look for you too Andee...Very nice!

Dan Daugherty

LOL...You snuck that last one in at the same time I posted...LOL

Andee Photography
