I've always enjoyed seeing you post up your talent with this. You've made some very beautiful items....and who wouldn't like flowers that don't wither up and die?!!!

 

[ragincajun]

I gotta say, nice work man, hand working metal is definately an art.. and those things look really nice/cool. Not a lot into em but time... and they definately make nice gifts.. or a few bucks.

thanks! they are easy to make but tedious work as everything is drawn out and cut out with tin snips. the stems and leaves are the worst to make and solder. since copper conducts heat so well and things are so close, you fight the heat a lot and melt the leaves off that you just soldered on lol. gets frustrating at times but my soldering skills are improving and im figuring out little tricks.
