Nah, just a wee fella Paip'. Just over 1 1/2" or 40mm. I was given a size 'range' to work to, & this was the biggest acceptable, phew

Dont know about perfect Gman! Im not so happy with the facial details myself. The original has very light suface incision but years of ingrained filth seems to give it a perfect 'antiqued' look in the depths of the lines. I didnt want to change it too much by going too deep (& didnt have years to ingrain my own filth :lol: ), but it was a trade-off to get the detail to stand out.

Benz, the show is a sponsored 'invite only' affair & we were advised of how many pieces would be required from each artist. The jewellers were only allowed/allotted 3 pieces each, so what youve seen is it. This exhibition is a showcase of 'West Coast' Art in general & will include painters/potters/weavers etc...

Ive deliberately priced the 'spear chucker' pretty high & wont be crying if it comes home. Id be quite happy to hang on to that particular piece...

T3 :)
