Mel you are excellent. I will be seeing you next year. I would like for you to put a guitar on my HHR. Thank you Mel for everything that you have done for this family. Until we meet again my friend.
Absolutely beautiful work. Getting to take a few moments and watch you do your work, it definitely came across showing how much of a passion and dedication you have for what you do.
Mel, your work is GREAT on each piece that I have seen. I Thank you so much for bringing your work to us.
how long do they take? granted, the more detail, the longer...but is it like 4 hours per? or are they sketched first, then etched within 30 minutes?
I ask because...they are absolutely incredible etchings...and look as if they take several hours EACH!
CJ's and Mine took all day for the two of them. About 4-4.5 hrs each.
Mel made an etching on a sticky type of paper, that had the design on them, then etched the outlines and other parts,
then the paper comes off and he then really gets to do more etching.
I should really say, then Mel makes the Magic happen!
Niks and Ernie's did not take near as long as CJ's and Mine.
But the outcome of all are GREAT!
I hope all who view these pictures enjoy them.
Mel
