made this for my daughter. thought you guys might like it. we have a local art show going on next week and I have been trying to get her to put one of her paintings in so she backed me into a corner and said she would if I put one of my metal flowers in so I guess I have too. I have to admit its a little intimidating putting something out there for everyone to see, I don't have a problem posting on here because you guys have an appreciation for metal and the skill it takes to make something, unfortunately not all people do Attached Images

Reply:Steeleman, I think you will be surprised at the response you get for that piece!Depending on the snootiness factor of the show, there will probably be a great number of people that can appreciate a craftsman's art.  Nice work!RogerOld, Tired, and GRUMPYSalesman will call, Batteries not included, Assembly is required, and FREE ADVICE IS WORTH EXACTLY WHAT YOU PAY FOR IT!Dial Arc 250HFThunderbolt 225 AC/DCAssorted A/O torches

Reply:thanks for the nice comments. the pedals are brass, the stem is re-bar and the base is 4-1/2 round that I ground the design into, the center of the flower is perforated steel, and the finish on the base and stem is green metal dye and clear coat on the whole thing
