Please give your opinions what size would you prefer? how much would you pay? do you like it at all?

many thanks !:)

Why would I buy that when I can just put paint on my finger tips?

To be fair it's hard to gauge a price on something I know nothing about or could make a comparison against.

I get the idea alright and maybe you could explore a market for babies hand and footprints. Although I don't m kw that steel would be your best medium.

I like it a lot, as for size about 30 by 30cms would be good for me but that is down to taste.

Have you tried adding colours to some of the grooves.

I saw this thread moved from AH. Not be harsh, but this doesn't do it for me. The above image is bit too straight forward...as in there's a fingerprint and now I've just lobbed it onto a surface with really awful looking chamfered edges, looks like a beer

#Mod snip quoted image removed

Now these are good, the first image on the left not so much, it looks like a very impractical tray. The ones to the right, excellent imo. They look more abstract, I can't see any awful chamfered surface so do more like this, you don't need the whole fingerprint, just a close up section of it I would say looks alot better, As for price, I don't know what size 30 to 50 for small ones anything up to 250 - 300 for a nice big one.

I'd say work on that back surface the fingerprints are on. Don't round the corners anyway and don't have it like a tray with raised edges, a simple flate rectangular shape would be best. Better still no background? probabaly not practical to make but there's something about that "frame" which detracts from what should otherwise be an organic sculpture. Good work though.

Battered Mars Bar thank you for opinions. what do you mean rectangular shape, you mean the lines or the whole sculpture in rectangular shape?

I want to do the lines to be like convex, like on the picture. but I am keen on others tastes to share what they see it better

I suppose I was referring to the first image, the one that has a square background with the curved corners. Would look nicer with straight corners I think. To me those rounded edges look a bit dated.

There's lots of possibilies I'd say, well worth having a bit of fun with. The two images of the metal ones on the right are my thing I guess. If you can take whatever it is that I like about those 2 pictures and make it work for the first image that I'm not keen on you're onto a winner.

Personally, i think that is a great idea..

You often see people who have baby shoes bronzed and other things like that, but something like this would be really cool.. maybe a full size baby fingerprint in one of the corners then an mega enlarged one for the main 'picture'.

Could be something a lot of people would be interested in..

There are loads of places you could sell something like that.. etsy, artfire, craftgo, olx and loads of others...

Not sure about what sort of price, but I would dont think I can see something like that at the lower end of the price scale.

Im not a fan of the original piece but I love the metal one
However .....

i thought it was a handbag ! if it was a clutch bag i would be really interested , id love it but if its a tray I dont think Id like it , i prefer functional stuff
