Mic Mac Inspired horn
« on: January 27, 2015, 04:53:33 PM »
I haven't posted anything in a while so I though I would. Here is a Mic Mac inspired powder horn. This is definitely a fantasy piece using a lot of elements I have seen on different horns. Who knows, maybe there is an artifact out there that looks a bit like this one.
The golden highlights are made with aqua fortis and heat. I hand filed the Flemish tacks.

I do not mind constructive criticism. Thanks for looking.

Regards, Rick

Enjoyed seeing all the horns on your website.  Very appealing to the eye.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Rick I really like this horn. The more I look the more details stand out and that is always something that holds my attention. Very nice work!
