I did not get much time over the weekend to progress art projects. I'm putting in quite a few hours doing painting of deck posts and railings. Putting people first has also taken a fair amount of time.
Still I'm happy with the progress. First job was to fit the copper sleeves into the cut off bases of the tulip vases.

And then over to the grinding and polishing bench.

Initially I'm glueing the various pieces together; and when the glue is dry I will put one or two rivets through the vase, the sleeve and the copper stem - binding it all solidly together.

I have left the tape in place to give the glue the chance to reach maximum strength - but even with the blue tape on the flowers are looking good in the train horn vase.

I like the shadow of the small flower form below.

I'm thinking that I really need to make seven flowers so the bunch looks more sumptuous. That means I need to source another couple of tulip vases - so we will see.
I think you have been having fun, they look....interesting!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Barry! I was thinking: what if Barry added a few leaf stems...?
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi P, S and AA - so great to have you visit the post and leave a comment - most appreciated. P - you are right this is a fun piece - it could make its way into an exhibition - contemporary art. S - I will give the leaves some thought - I will do a test on my prototype. AA - glad you like them. All go well. B
