Adonis Bronze had the clay of Iron Horn standing up within an hour of me being there last Friday. They would have taken him up to Mountain Trails Gallery today, but it's snowing very hard, so they're going to put that off for a couple of days. I'll add photo's if the foundry sends me any.<br />That's it for now.Artist - David Lemonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02215108857725915998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837462102425782036.post-21052557248689537522008-12-13T11:08:00.005-07:002008-12-14T10:13:32.237-07:00Delivering Iron Horn - Disaster<p>Check out this video I submitted to YouTube. It covers everything from the 11th to this morning, with comment boxes to explain things more clearly. It's a condenced version of the past 4 days. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO6-c02grcE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO6-c02grcE</a></p><p>Check back next week, and I'll update the progress as well as what happens to Iron Horn. </p><p>P.S.<br />It's Sunday morning the 14th. From what I've learned from Adonis Bronze, the day I dropped off this clay for repair, and from the UHaul guy here in town, as well as thinking about all the factors of this trip, I've come to this conclusion.<br />from what I've found out, from this experience, through the Board of Inquiry in my Mind, the whole thing was doomed to break no matter what I would have done. The extreme cold here caused a change in the clay, wax, and foam's make up. Combined with the terrible roads and the lack of weight in the back of the truck, it was bound to break... I'm just very lucky it didn't break more.<br />When I built the frame I was building it for the lightweight sculpture it was. I mean it only had a little over a 100 pounds of clay spread from the feet to the head. Most of the weight, probably 40 pounds was in the head alone. The frame I made would have held it all up fine. The large amount of wax from the string laying on the board would have been enough to hold whole thing to the base and should have given plenty of support for the ankles. But single digit cold, as it sat in the back of the truck over night, caused the wax to become very brittle. It broke easily away from the board. With the bouncing of the truck, due to the lack of any kind of weight in the back of the truck, well it just put to much pressure on the ankles, once the wax, that had been glued to the base broke it's bond, was just to much, so the ankles cracked. This put way to much pressure in the wrong direction on the flange holding the support pipe down to the base, and it tore out. Once that happened the supports were pushed up and they collapsed.<br />The foundry is going to put pipe, welded to a plate on the base and set the legs and the clay down onto that. So that the pipe will be inside the legs. But that will only go up to the knees. So now the knees will be the weak point. Even if it had stood up, in the back of the truck, the foam would have crumbled at the ankles or in the legs from the weight above it.<br />I know how I'll frame it next time and how I'll support it, next time. But I would be hard pressed to be talked into transporting it ever again 400 miles... 50 miles would be fine but 6 hours of bouncing isn't good.<br />Sorry, long explanation... lol I did what I did, with the knowledge I had at the time. I'm just very thankful that the damage wasn't worse than it was.</p>Artist - David Lemonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02215108857725915998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837462102425782036.post-71255707256232494422008-12-11T18:17:00.003-07:002008-12-11T19:20:27.577-07:00Iron Horn - Monumental - A Lot of Grunting and Wheezing<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Finally</span> have the Clay loaded and ready for the drive tomorrow to Utah.

Saturday evening I ended up going to the local doctor to have it looked at. It was infected. So I've been on antibiotics for the past three days. It's so much better today, but I just don't want to aggravate it with a pants leg and the environment of the studio for at least one more day.<br />I decided to make strings of beads today in my home office. Here is a photo of a string of clay beads. I cut at every 7th bead. The marks on the cutting board align with each bead. This Helps speed up the work.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIkQB53n-xR16PMEUZwBc1gkK-NrygnBm5bvtEtTZdxtFKqgdKxDxU2T_w70iRFu-pc5Sf2IBnEUCMufEhWCvZQYl5gLIP6SMvN9Z95tDOsCinjKKKZubwlLMMg26yTth6yo80Y8Qon6E/s1600-h/IMG_0041.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275013822016244466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIkQB53n-xR16PMEUZwBc1gkK-NrygnBm5bvtEtTZdxtFKqgdKxDxU2T_w70iRFu-pc5Sf2IBnEUCMufEhWCvZQYl5gLIP6SMvN9Z95tDOsCinjKKKZubwlLMMg26yTth6yo80Y8Qon6E/s400/IMG_0041.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />The video shows the stings stacking up.<br /><br /><p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwPtIqCXJTVZdGkWMgynxWgCanJk2G22S8tzBA3ZApjq8Dm-nSBYWAhP0GAY1z1iAhq7MnqqJeyRsJ7OcPMyQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p>Well that plate and one other full plate was a full days work.

Painting the wax shows me were I need to fill with clay to eliminate the crevasses. I spent all morning working on that and filling in behind the fringe, with clay, to make it easier for the foundry to cast this piece. Easy equals less cost.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh154i-tcHE18ZRgTNSNHlRHx7FBpqkNgEC_jyoXxZxWkAk7pxvA17OiZF6ZytSY-38tYXUwVG_8fFbE2dzR1BrssfAEWpJ4oOh6B7LezMdCZ-Izv602vVWDUbxNaR00ybhfQD3LXqFlog/s1600-h/IMG_0032.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274194600718763426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh154i-tcHE18ZRgTNSNHlRHx7FBpqkNgEC_jyoXxZxWkAk7pxvA17OiZF6ZytSY-38tYXUwVG_8fFbE2dzR1BrssfAEWpJ4oOh6B7LezMdCZ-Izv602vVWDUbxNaR00ybhfQD3LXqFlog/s400/IMG_0032.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I then started to add beads to the right sleeve.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyo7LocPx2nx61e8mu3JInK6n_TRiHoqVLDHfXMrr5ChHfu3kHMFf8lCwErsWof7XcVFUK13rIUQ7y1QbXrpg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />I then noticed one of the fingers on the hand holding the gun was missing. Searching the floor and I found it under the base of the clay. Then I then investigate why that finger fell. Turns out the rifle was starting to sag. If this was going to stand in a gallery all winter in clay, I had to figure out a way of anchoring the rifle better. So it was then that I decided I need another week to finish this clay. So now I've delayed transporting this clay to Park City Utah an additional week. So a little relief there. Still a lot to do before packing up the clay though.Artist - David Lemonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02215108857725915998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837462102425782036.post-79020881537937225482008-11-28T17:29:00.004-07:002008-11-28T20:21:49.110-07:00Iron Horn - Monumental - Will I Finish by Next Thursday?Yep that's the question, as I started today. I'm shooting to have this piece 80 to 90 percent done by Thursday of next week. Then Friday I have to build the crate around it, so I can transport it to Mountain Trails Gallery next Saturday. I'm just not sure if I can. I have an awful lot of stuff to do yet. It's kind of keeping me up at nights. Must think positive..<br />Well today I worked on the beaded and quill worked square on the Indians chest. Then later in the day, I started to add the fringe onto the sleeves and the shirt using my twine in wax method.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxBMBQMbhBllvzz3Ci78PbiFrV3vLpPTytieYh-UOPd2T7EZfxtkzkLwRaaiKQQaWWaRWwz2otlMN0hMhnOXg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Here are photos of the clay as of this evening.

This shows me how it will look with the beads on his shoulders.</p><p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyZBNyurCMjqaS8qokK-WZMs8_iHEroMFY6P9Kq8HN9isQuzn63jZ9fkA9oBlo-U6Gh9zh4eKo_ARMnrkwAtg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p>This set of photos show how this clay is taking shape.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwm0zYbYEmr9Ig8HeuOtkpoxeyFGSzayHqSl55_l06lq5zE7rL9Qdl_AoPOQAqO2nDMoVha91r02vetW3Dm6Ok0FXUKNqzywbZLV5tS9zBeula3WRUT4GNUwsCPl3njRyVAboBd8IhT1o/s1600-h/IMG_0269.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270950365448069314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 392px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwm0zYbYEmr9Ig8HeuOtkpoxeyFGSzayHqSl55_l06lq5zE7rL9Qdl_AoPOQAqO2nDMoVha91r02vetW3Dm6Ok0FXUKNqzywbZLV5tS9zBeula3WRUT4GNUwsCPl3njRyVAboBd8IhT1o/s400/IMG_0269.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Ran out of clay, so had to stop and let a new block of clay soften for tomorrow. I went back in about 7 pm to cut down that block and then I put in another block to soften. I'll cut that one up tomorrow morning.<br />A photo I took on the way home tonight. Just love these mountains.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ZvX8Bl57wAiISupeJFFki0pZ5Ray7Z_lwwlsH-SRAyMmSIAdi5BEZaNrDBTJ99Qpha0tg2z179pCvoKtGUcyougv7m4u__egzJm_LKlcqOhRoPhOomqO6lI5Tz7rC9EdCJyalKPUBTk/s1600-h/pano.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270950981278619474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 86px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ZvX8Bl57wAiISupeJFFki0pZ5Ray7Z_lwwlsH-SRAyMmSIAdi5BEZaNrDBTJ99Qpha0tg2z179pCvoKtGUcyougv7m4u__egzJm_LKlcqOhRoPhOomqO6lI5Tz7rC9EdCJyalKPUBTk/s400/pano.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>Artist - David Lemonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02215108857725915998noreply@blogger.com0
