Handmade Vase Competition

[Dan]

I just found this; Inspired to make a Vase competition

Looks like we nearly did this before.

I got the dewalt set up in the garage this evening and got started on mine, it going much better than I thought it would! I'm trying to set the bar high! It'll be ready in the next couple of days. Here's a little teaser pic of the water in the saw!

Here we are, as promised. A patriotic Union Jack vase! The flag was a bit of a faff but, I'm pleased with the result. Resin bonded the flag and then the 5 sides.

Very smart @Bri

 

[Dan]

That's awesome

 

[J Sid]

Bloody good.

 

[White Room]

That is so cool Bri

 

[Dan]

Are the tiles sparkly? Or is that white flecks in them?

Yeah it's gulf stone, loads of silver flecks. You can see it a bit better on a close up.

 

[Dan]

Have you sealed that or anything to get it darker like that?

Lovely stone that is.

No sealer, just as it came from the shop. Blooming pricey though, £40 worth to make this!

Thats quality Bri!!

 

[Dan]

What's the height and width of it @Bri?

And how much can you flog me on for?

 

[Qwerty]

Top work @Bri !

 

[Ian]

What's the height and width of it @Bri?

And how much can you flog me on for?

It's 30cm high and 14cm wide, money wise, I'm not sure it'd be viable to make them to sell. Like I say, that stone is £40 and it took about 4 hours to make, even at a tenner an hour, £80 is a bit steep for a vase!
