Makers Challenge 3: Natures Artwork
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 04. 2022
- Today I was invited to be part of Theo Kellison’s Markers Challenge Season 3. We will start off looking for some material to use for my project. Then move to the Hi-Tech saw to do some cutting, then move to the Hi-Tech Flatlap for some polishing before we really get started. I don’t want to give away to what I’m making until after you all see it. After about a month I’ll update the description to better describe the process.

Duuude! Phenomenal work man! You captured that landscape beautifully! And i love the idea of pushing it forward to make the stone look suspended! Seriously man awesome work, awesome tutorial, and thanks so much for being a part of the challenge!!!😄
Thank you so much for letting me take part of this years Makers Challenge bro. It was definitely a lot of fun and paid off with it turning out better then expected.
Great job Kurt!! That's a very unique idea! It turned out amazing! Great first day of The Maker's Challenge right there!
Duddddde stopppit! That looks so perfect! Stunning! Like legit what a piece of art. Natures art is beautiful, but how you displayed it, is perfection. I can’t say dude, I just absolutely love this! I loved how I wasn’t sure what you were going to do and then I saw the suede card and I was like “NO… WAY… he’s doin his thing! He’s framing it!!!!!”
And you crushed this brother. Just so rad to see you and Kate couple your other talents and passions with rocks. Just nailed it kurt. Hang that one high for all the visitors to see. 👊👊👊
Bro I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a long time then my girlfriend came up with this idea so I totally had to lol.
Instead of saying what I was making at the beginning I wanted to keep everyone at the edge of their seats until the middle of the video.
Im glad you enjoyed it brotha, it was amazing to be part of this with all the others channels. I still need to watch yours, Marlaina, Robs, and one other.
Keep Rocking bro 👊🤘
Absolutely stunning. When I thought you were going to cut it into two pieces, I almost cried. This is just so amazing. Just wow. Thanks for not ruining that beautiful piece.
Thanks, I really was planning on making a cabs but my girlfriend made me stop and then came up with this idea. Thanks for watching and your welcome lol 😁
Really great work, loved how it turned out 🤘
Thank you Taylor. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Man, doing the hand polishing is seriously throwing down on the hard stuff! Beautiful job. Nice use of the lazy susan when you were drawing on the matboard (genius idea). You're such a good framer, it was great watching those mad skills at work. The finished project is elegant and something I think anyone would love to hang on their wall. Awesome tutorial and challenge! Cheers!
Lol hand polishing really was difficult on this piece. Thanks for such kind words Karen, maybe we could do a collab of me framing something you make or something in the future once I get more material stocked up. Thanks for watching 😜😁🤘
That turned out nice, Kurt!
Thank you Rob I appreciate it.
A great view of the landscape looking out of a cave. I like that it is floating. Your very artistic. Keep that good talent coming. Be happy,safe and stay healthy 😷⚒ you need to sign it
Thanks man, I plan on making more similar videos on stuff like this. Thanks for watching
Wow RHA! Pro job on framing, thanks for sharing how it is done. I really like that frame, very rustic antique. Great idea and thanks for being part of Theo's Maker's Challenge.
Definitely, my profession is in the custom picture framing field and plan on getting back into it in the future. I also plan on doing similar project here on my channel. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Rock on 🤘
That was so cool to watch you put that together Kurt! It turned out beautiful and the frame is so rustic and unique looks amazing with the picture stone! Thank you for sharing, so inspiring! 😊❤️
Thanks for the kind comment you left. I’m really glad you enjoyed it. 🤘
This looks fantastic. There's something really special about those picture jaspers. Nice work!
Thanks and I completely agree. 🤘
What an awesome project for your makers challenge! It turned out awesome! Day one has been two really nice pieces so far! Fabulous job Kurt!
I totally agree and now since it’s over all the projects from everyone is amazing
@@RockHoundingAdventures i agree! this years entries were were all phenomenal!
I love your humor in the beginning!!!
Then WOW!!! That is so Cool!!!
Thank you for explaining the process with such detail!!!!!
Of course. I’m glad you enjoyed my content and thanks for your support.
Beautiful job, what a unique concept for art and your framing knowledge is right on point. Thank you for doing this.
Really nice display. Perfect frame and the brown suede mat contrasts beautifully with the stone. So many steps! Thanks.
Thanks, I was wanting to use black suede but all I had was the brown. Worked out better then expected. Thanks for watching
Well done Kurt!!! Such a beautiful piece of picture Jasper. Everything plays so nicely together but also makes the stone the star attraction. That should be proudly hung on a wall in your home!
Thank you very much for your comment. When I’m working in a frame shop that is how I frame everything I get to work on. I will be making more stuff similar to post on Etsy.
Wow, Kurt! This is spectacular! Great idea and even better execution. Definitely a work of art and a thing of beauty to behold. Excellent job showing step by step also. Enjoyed the video, thank you.
Thanks for the kind words. It definitely turned out spectacular.. way better then I was expecting. I hope to make more like this in the near future. Thanks for the support
This is so beautiful! The landscape piece is amazing. You did a great job. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to watch my content. Hope you have a great week
Absolutely stunning piece of picture jasper! That frame would find a home in any high-end gallery - or my living room wall. :D
Thank you Katy. I LOVE your mugs you made. I think I may have to get one later this year.
Nice choice in picture jasper. Turn out really nice, Kurt!
Thank you so much. I’m glad you liked it
Very cool Kurt! Thanks you for sharing this. Beautiful frame too by the way!✌️🤠
Thanks for watching Kyla
Beautiful!!! Love the idea!!
Thank you Ted
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Beautiful piece!
Wow nice material had a nice polish.
That was a good idea, for the makers challenge
Thank you Michael.
Beautiful...luvd the whole process. nice work.
Thanks for watching
Kurt! I don’t need to see anymore challenges! This is the bomb! Love it! The craftsmanship is outstanding 🤯. These types of pieces would look beautiful in homes. If you don’t already sell these, you should!
This was the best challenge piece I’ve seen. Fabulous integration with your beautiful framing skills. Gorgeous piece of artwork ✌️
Stay Crystal 💫
Mari
Thanks for the kind comment. I upgraded the glass on this piece a couple months ago and is now for sale. As soon as I upgrade some of my lapidary equipment I'll be making more like this one.
What a beautiful creation!!! You outdid yourself sir!!!! Well done!!!
Thank you kindly! 😊
👏 👏 👏 Love it! Excellent work sir!
Thanks for watching 🤘
Very cool !!!
Keep rockin!!👍😎
Glad you liked it Tim. Thanks for watching 😜🤘
The other side better look like stars
That turned out amazing! Nice job Kurt!
Thank you Kyle. This is what I’d love to do with your Dino Bone/Fire Obsidian play button you made but use black suede matting with a particular frame I have in mind (I think I may have it in storage in Texas). If you think you’d like that let me know.
Very cool idea I am soo gonna do that thank you for going step by step very talented love it
Oh cool you definitely should. I plan to put out more similar videos. I appreciate your support. Thanks for watching
Thats super cool, nice work buddy. Thanks for sharing your passion and doing what you do!
Definitely, thanks for the support
That looks awsome and the frame just sets it off beautifully xx well done xx
Thanks for watching
That was pretty cool. I don't think my ocd ass would even pretend I'm gonna try this out. Even if my life depended on it I couldn't cut a straight line🤣
Thanks and totally understand 😂.some of the Shadowboxes I’ve done in the past I’ve had much trouble cause of my ocd 🤣. Rock On
Really stunning. The finished picture is fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous, such a great job! Definitely a labor love💗
Thank you
Fantastic!
Thanks for watching 🤘
When you first showed this stone it looked like a river and the surrounding landscape was heavily carved by it. It looked so interesting that I felt that was the direction you were going. Was I surprised at then, heck yes!
Lol I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by to check out my content. Rock on 🤘
got home after midnight so , just watching now, that looks like it must be landscape jasper , I have something with same patterns down here but its softer , tuff, compacted ash, so it doesn't shine more of a chalk texture and then farther south is the wonder stone which is sand stone, yours looks pretty shiny , and the blue tones of the sky , really contrasting. Nice ! just got to the end ! this makes it so classy, how to make a creation look like it belongs in a art collection ! nice work all the way around !
I think the picture Jasper is from southern Oregon. The material near you sounds interesting especially the wonder stone.. I like that stuff.
Thanks for watching man, I think anything that is properly framed can be in a art collection 😁. The carving of the knife you made turned out very beautiful. If you were to ever shadow box it make sure to have some LED’s behind it to back light it. 🤘
Awesome job Kurt! Beautiful piece of art.
Thanks
What a gorgeous piece. I’m glad you went with the cut you did. I’d be proud to have that on my wall. I love jasper.
Thats so awesome 👌
Thank you. I hope to make some more
Hi friend it is amazing. I like it 👌👌👌👌👍. And today is my birthday 😊💪🎉
Glad you enjoyed it and happy late birthday my friend. 🤘
Great job mate nice piece
Thank you bro, glad you liked it.
The original meaning of picture in picture. Am i right? or am i right!. 😂. Great project. like your visualization of the cave, and the old picture frame is cool! Glad to see you didn’t have to brave the snow either!😉
As they say "You Done Good"!!! I really like the floating.stone looking out if a cave. Thanks for being part of the makers challenge. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
You are correct Greg 😁. I’ve been saving that frame for a few years 🤣. The snow season is almost over.
@@sandmaker thanks man, the floating look is one of my favorite methods to Shadowbox something. I hope to have my own frame shop in the future.
I love it!!!!!
Thanks for watching
Beautiful work!! When It looked like you were going to cut it at the beginning, I was like “ Noooo!” What you did with that beautiful landscape was perfect!👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks very much. 😁🤘
Wonderful video.
Wow Kurt I've just found your channel through the makers challenge, that's fabulous dahling 👍
Awesome, thanks for watching. I hope I earned your subscription
Nice job looks awesome 😊💙
Thank you Paige
Well done Kurt!
Thank you Matthew
A unique piece that I would have only cut the minimum off but turned it through 90 degrees so a river was flowing between two mountains.
But hey, that's just my vision.
Great stuff brother! Really love that material! Finishing the video now 🔥
Thanks Tyler I appreciate it.
Great job Kurt! What a beautiful piece of artwork. I really love how you captured the landscape. That's going to sell fast! Cheers Kurt✨
Thanks Marlaina. I hope it sells when I list it. I’ll be making more soon. I haven’t gotten the chance to watch yours yet but I’m really excited to when I get time.
Totally unexpected as I sort of saw the cabochons at first also, but a much better choice was made. 🙂❤
I also noted when camera was panning from items left, that there appeared an illusion similar to the owl that Mr Ellison carved. Just a hint but it's there for my eye.
Oh I definitely see that now that you mentioned it. Lol
What a great way to showcase the beauty of nature! Love the rustic frame as well! I'm new to your channel and you have definitely earned my sub
I can’t agree more Cynthia. I’m glad you enjoyed this video and glad I earned your subscription and support. Thanks for watching 🤘
Beautiful

Beautiful work, liked and subbed.
Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad I earned your support. 🤘
Very nice!
Iron your brown paper smooth between two ironing clothes!!
Everyone wins 👍🏽
Indeed, thanks for watching
I have never framed a stone but I have been framed when I was stoned.
😂
You Crack me up bro
@@RockHoundingAdventures
That's what the rock said to Jack frost.
Was hoping for a dual cab belt buckle but that picture came out pretty cool. What room are you going to hang it in?
Duel cab belt buck sounds interesting.. may have to try that out sometime. I’m going to keep it in the living room for a bit then will be listing it on my Etsy store. Plan on making a lot more of these.
How u doing?! mate, insane upload,catch you later-👍
Doing well, plan on doing more similar projects. Glad you enjoyed my content. 🤘
I'm a bit disappointed in you, at no point did I see you using any PPE. You know you should never, never run any equipment with out proper protection. I totally loved the artwork. That stone was beautiful. The shadow box was just gorgeous. I would be proud to display such an awesome piece. What a great piece.
Yeah I’m sorry about that normally have all of that when cutting. I’m very aware of the safety concerns. I’m glad you loved the outcome. Thanks for your taking the time to watch and comment on my video i appreciate your support. 🤘
@@RockHoundingAdventures I just worry about safety is all. I wouldn't want to see anyone get hurt using any of the lapidary equipment. We all just have to remember there may be people new to lapidary that don't know they need PPE. Funny thing is you are not the first one I have called out on this issue. LOL be safe.
* WHERE Is Your SAFETY Equipment?? Glasses, Mask (rock dust is Deadly) ( If you need Ear protection, etc... Please ~ BE SAFE . . Rain Coat would help as well..
I knew someone was going to catch that. I normally wear a apron, glasses, and mask when cutting but i forgot that time and meant to put text in the video saying “remember your safety equipment when cutting”. Thanks for catching that. It definitely can be dangerous. Using a wet saw helps with no dust and I wasn’t cutting very long. Thanks for watching
