A Cross with a Twist...

[Geoff_Mann]

Hello everybody,

I've made a few of these over the years and given them away as gifts. They've gotten a lot of attention from others. They hang on the wall and the people I've given them to say that when friends visit their homes for the first time, they always notice these crosses. Anyway, I'm thinking about starting to market and possibly sell these items...

Any ideas???

Thanks
Geoff Mann

Very nice! What are they made out of? Have you considered making some to use as pendants for necklaces etc.?

They are made of steel. I cut, brushed, twisted and welded the pieces together. I then coated them with a glossy clear coat. There is a tab welded to the back, this way they can be hung on the wall. They are anywhere from 12 - 24 inches tall. I don't really work with pieces that are so small that they can be worn as jewelry. Just not my cup of tea.

I like them. If you're going to mass produce them for sale I would do a couple things. First make sure you develop some good fixturing to keep the look consistent. Its also helpful to incorporate some sort of hook/loop in the back for wall mounting.

What I like about the piece is cold hardness of it helps to convey the pain and suffering that must of been endured. You compliment that well the soft cloth like lines in your 'twist'. It might even help more if it were anchored to a nice piece of wood and give it some more depth, but wood prices have been crazy lately.

Good luck

I like those

There have been a lot of metalwork wall art pieces in the shops here recently, so some people wouldlike them as they are (although mounting them on wood would be the usual way.)

Don't visit this side of the forums much but the work is beautiful. It catches the idea for being unique and is powerful also. Good work and I wish you the best of success if you decide to market them.

Very cool and unique! I'm sure if you sell them there would be plenty of people who want to buy. You have a gift from god, and it totally shows man : )
