Subject: "Tri" Art for a change

Tried something different and still not sure I like the swimmer.    I still have to clean up the welds and then paint, but thought I would post it up.  Thought I had before, but can't find the title anywhere and was having computer problems, so posting it.

Angle it a bit more and put a row of lapping waves down the length of the swimmer.

(edit) right now you have the swimmer either under water or floating above it

 Do you know anyone that does stained glass? That's the first thing I though when I saw this.

I tried to put the swimmer with the wave, but didn't like it.  I will keep playing with it.  I already have people asking to buy, so I guess I better get better with the swimmer.  Which way do you mean to angle it?  Currently the wave and the swimmer are "level" when hanging in the center wire.  Maybe not exact, but do you mean to angle both the waves and the swimmer down or up?  I really want ideas, and just trying to clarify.

 

Thanks.

My first try at this "tri" thing was goggles for swimming, just a bike for the riding portion and a shoe for the running.  Let's just say that was scrapped a few times before I went to this style of design.

(just my take on it)

Head of swimmer towards the outside of the medallion.
Feet stay at the same place.
Water running about 30 degrees off swimmer's centerline so head is out of water and feet are in it with bisecting about shoulder level. Generally how we swim anyway.

Perhaps no body of swimmer below waterline, dunno if that would look right but it would make it different than runner.

There is nobody local that I am aware of, but it is a class I am wanting to take at some point, but I that is different metal compared to what I am using and I am sure different layout technique.
