Neil, Bryan : There is a lady artist in either New Mexico or Arizona, not
sure which,
that puts copper sheeting in the dies she has crafted, and then she lines a
string of them
up, out in a secluded area( a quarry as I recall ), and sets all the
individual charges off at once ....... after trimming, heat treating them for
various shades of coloring with a torch,
and her application of paint, etc ...... she sells them at some very upscale
prices :
I believe her tags all read in the multi-thousand dollar
range !
I imagine she has to have an explosives license / other permits to pursue
her craft .....
NOT quite appropriate for doing these in the back room of the
gallery !
