It is always challenging to come up with new metal art for shows. Damascus Open Studios is coming up soon. May 17th to the 19th. I have been working on a variety of metal flowers for the show. It has been a fun process. I start out with large sheets of metal. Cut them up into smaller pieces. Than weld and shape them into larger pieces. The flowers are really big, approximately two feet across.
I have also been making “wishes” The same process of design, cutting, welding, and trial and error is used. My third large flower design uses wine barrel rings to create wispy flowers. All of them are mounted on metal rods of various heights that allow them to move in the wind.
Next, I have made smaller flowers using a couple different pattern ideas.
The price for the small flowers is $25. The large flowers, wishes, and wine barrel ring flowers is $95. You can come visit me in May at my home studio or feel free to get in touch with me anytime by gmail. dkm.metalman@gmail.com
I hope to hear from you.
