Magic Flowers

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008


Pictured above are some of my handcrafted metal flowers. I call them Magic Flowers. For each flower I must hand cut each individual petal. Once the petals are cut out, I then hand hammer and form each petal to give the flower three demensional form. Then I weld the petals to the stem. Once welded, I hand paint each individual flower.  Since each flower is handcrafted from my mind’s eye , NOT from any patterns, no two flowers are the same. And most of the flower shapes are never duplicated. That means each flower is a one of a kind. Currently, I only have (24) flowers made for our Deming Art Studio Spring Open House on May 10th, 2008. So get yours during the Spring Open House while they are in bloom!

 

 

The Lily Pond

Friday, April 4th, 2008

The “Lily Pond” is a sculpture I am currently working on. It involves the elements of hand worked metal, stained glass and cement. When finished a lime green birdbath will sit a top the coil of metal. Dancing behind the hand sculpted birdbath will be the graceful cattails. And flying amid the cattails will be a stained glass dragonfly. Below the birdbath will be the lily pad in bloom floating on the water. And beneath the birdbath to be eyed only by the keen observer is the bullfrog getting ready to leap apon the lily pad. Want to see how this piece of handmade original fine art looks when it is completed? Come to the Deming Art Studio Spring Open House, May 10th, 2008, from 9am to 6pm located at 5380 Stanton Lk Rd one mile north of Lum, Michigan.
