Hi Dan
Thanks!
I'm in Atlanta......A Georgia Peach!
I will look into sputtering.....
I figure I'd mess around with some small casts and see what I can come up with....
I need a metal that will be stable enough to hold glass in it... Do you think pewter is stable enough? I always thought it as being super soft.
Thanks so much!
EJ Russell
PS Why has it been so stinkin' quiet around here?

The pewter artist, richard neal, was drooling pewter into his mold, not
covering a statue. Metal so easily melted gives the deep texture as gases
and steam escape.
A Napoleon Mordas fellow was sputtering bronze onto his sculpture, very
amazing. His english was shaky, though. Look for a sputtering company
aren't you in Ohio? This is not that big a deal, tech-wise. They may tell
you what they prefer as a base material.
Otherwise, there are metal-rich paints, and leaf, which is not hard, and
true bronze and aluminum casting.
