3rd of February

Well the date is finally upon us, tommorow is the DD hand in and i like to think im ready for it personally i just need to put time into this conclusion because there is alot of stuff i have learned and changed.

One thing i wanted to talk about in this post is the finish i am have put on the piece, i had a talk with adrian about it and he said that a rust finish on it will give it a real look of rustic just like im trying to portray.

The kind of rust im going for is a patchy rust on different spots all over, the way i was told to get that was to cut brush it all over to give it a spotless shine then the rust will build up faster in the shiny spots.

I did a few samples.

I wanted to show with the samples the effect of cut brush on different surfaces and how they would rust so i did it on different levels of flat and prominent lines. Sadly because my piece is sat up at the forge i cant take pictures as it goes a long, so im just hoping that this is what the piece turns out looking.

I am going to start writing up my conclusion today, i dont think i will be able to put it up till tommorow when i finally see the piece in the afternoon.
