From the 25th of April, Juan Cruz and I will be exhibiting at the BlipBlipBlip gallery in Leeds. I will post more details later, but for now here's some glimpses of what's been cooking.

It's grown back rather odd

Prep time for summer

The suns finally come out and I'm ready....

Competition. question 3

You may remember that I attempted to make this model, for some reason. It was so tricky that I got all rage filled an failed to complete it.

The question is this though: Who did I buy it for in the first place?

In Prep

New work coming

At Home

Some Severn Sea recharging...

Weapons of Choice

These have been the tools that I have been using to create 100 individual wax sharks for my next project; MY E28.

Second question for the chance to win a pewter version of these little monsters:

Some time ago in my blog I talked about an Italian dude who was working in the Foundry doing a fellowship at the same time I was working on my bronze.. what's his name?

Overload

They're breeding.. the elements of my next piece due for show at the blip, blip, blip gallery in Leeds, April 25th. More info to follow.

Competition extention

I've received a few comments about the competition being too hard...

So to make it a little easier for you all, (because you can't all be as smart as my Mate Gambo)..  im going to extend the deadline..  you all got a week more until the next question.

There may also be more then one ship name in the blog, so any will do.


The casting has hit some technical, workshop malfunctions so the whole deal is gonna take a little longer.

Remember, the finished shark is going to be worth a sweet £400, and it will only ever go up in price.. so get your thinking hats on..

R.

11,000 hits competition.

Today Severn Boy got it's 11,000th hit...
I'm gonna celebrate by setting a little competition.

On Facebook I have posted a picture of a 3inch model shark that I moulded from wax. He's about to be cast in to pewter. I'm making a limited, signed and numbered run of these little critters and I'm gonna flog em to some rich folk... But if you want one, you might just get lucky...

I'm only giving away one, and this is what you have to do to win him..

Over the next month during the process of casting these sharks I will ask 4 questions relating to my work. If you've being paying attention to my blog you'll know the answers. Whoever gets all 4 will win. If more then one gets them right, I'll set a tie breaker and the first to respond will be the winner.
I will post these questions at critical stages of the completing process.

Send your answers to robinebjenkins@gmail.com

Good luck and happy 11,000

Question 1: I mentioned the name of a ship in one of my posts. What was it?

I will post the answer on Sunday and if you got it right your still in.

Some crap photo's from the show

Handy

I'm drowning in my own work, so stay tuned and and get ready for the new stuff...

Hands up, baby hands up.......

You need hands to show the world you're happy  
And you need hands when you have to stop the bus  
But the hands we love so dear 
Are the hands we love to hear
 
Are the hands that You give to us

Hands Up For Some New work

Keep your eyes peeled for new work coming from the heart of The Priory Studio and Chelsea Foundry. I'm going to be starting an appeal, so if you want to get in on the ground floor of a chance of becoming a high time, art swaggering, big time collector, then watch for the moment right here......

We're going to need a bigger boat
