    I got maybe 5 or 6 major pieces. One I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to do it exactly, another I'm not sure why I stopped it won't take much to finish. Both of those are copper pieces which I love working with but I have one that's a painting and it wasn't working out like I wanted but I know I can fix it.

    What is your medium?

    I have at least 7 paintings unfinished. Lol. Many unfinished drawings
    I also accept that I will never finish them so I call them finished pieces. Lol

    Mine looks very much like this one except I used wooden pegs for the strings.

    [​IMG]
    I had the whole thing done years ago, but was always chicken when it came to cutting the tapered holes for the pegs.
    I also had to custom file a few brass frets which I kept putting off.

    Your copper stuff sounds cool! Ive worked w/ copper before. my medium is whatever ive got to use, really. i try everything. like i was using acrylic paints on a scrap piece of marble i have. i put southwestern designs on it. the design sorta looks like Indian jewelry..

    Awww stop tossing them in the trash. Someone will always apprecate it no matter how complete you think something is. I have done lots of things I would have changed, felt was never as good as it could be, but others don't see what I see or envision what is in my head. So always keep it... maybe you start from scratch and do it again and again . :).
