I was asked to do some pieces for a cattleman's association in the area.  These are not complete, but raw wire and still need to clean them up quite a bit.

Thanks.  I have another project I want to get done, so I am going to get off of here and back to the cold garage.  I also have a music show today that I have to go do also.  St. Practice day show.

The longhorn got me thinking. Could you make items with college logos? I know there might be trademark issues, but it might be worth time

 

Also, you could probably sell the country art at livestock show/rodeos.

Some logo's maybe, but really tough to duplicate.  That, and there are a few people close to me doing it all with laser cutters, so what they cut out in less than a minute, I haven't even bent one wire close enough to match the logo.  This is my first try and this kind of thing, so I am trying to do just a few things to see what happens with them locally. 

I already have a few people asking about the cowboy boot.  The problem is that I have over 4 hours in the boot and created a lot of scrap just trying to get it where it is.  Still have an hour of grinding/sanding and then to paint.  I can't make a lot of money doing them.

I have one lady that wants me to make a similar long horn bull this spring, but wants a few changes.  We will see what comes of it.

I see why the Rodeo came to mind when seeing your latest creations. The hat really is close to the logo used by the SA rodeo. I really like the hat/boot combo!

Can you help me out?  What is the SA rodeo?

Thanks for the logo.  I see why you said that now.  I have some better pictures of the hat/boot combo, and my last piece for this Saturday.
