The finished product!

It's done!!! My photography skills for metalwork don't do it justice. The closer to B&W the better it looks, so here it it!


The sculpture stands 25" tall with a leafspan of 17". The petals on the flowers are 11-13" long.

Rose,
There was a lot of love put into this pc. Super fine job! Does your hubby treat the finished metal to prevent rust?

Yes, a type of wax that's used in blacksmithing seals it.
I'll keep trying, that's the nice thing about digital, it only costs time! The lighting is the hardest part to get right, although I seem to do better with the dark background. I'm tempted to go with black ...... could be dramatic .... if I get the lighting right!
