This is my first attempt at a steam punk(ish sculpture. The base is a Beech root and the vine and leaves are mild steel. The vine is made using re-purposed metal pulled from a swamp, the leaves are sheet metal that was used to make automobile body repairs. The gauge is a speedometer from a Model A Ford. This is the second from my Motown Sculpture Series.

Here's a praying Mantis sculpture I recently made. She's 18 inches tall.

Wine Rack Sculpture

This wine rack is designed to compliment a wood rack for the same patron. It holds standard 450ml. bottles and various other wine bottle shapes. There is around a 10 degree slant toward the cork. Incorporated in the sculpture is a grape vine with the roots at the bottom and climbing up the back of the rack to the top where branches with tendrils and leaves move horizontaly.

Well...  Its me.

Iron Rose Bouquet

This sculpture is all one kind of metal, steel. Making a small rose from steel was a bit of a challenge. The stems are from a political sign wire and the leaf stems are a spring from a piece of furniture.The blue color is a reflection of a cloudless sky.

Bad Artitude

"Timmy" has evolved and needs a name change . This sculpture is now  "OodooV"

 

 

Sometimes a person has to make something different !  This sculpture is part of my new series "Bad Artitude". Actually the skull "Timmy" has been around a while, but "Timmy" is being made into a jester. It's not finished yet. I thought I would share my progress.I am having fun.

Copper and Steel Cattleya Plant Sculpture

This sculpture uses blossoms made using recycled copper from a fire line. The Air roots are made from an old bicycle child carrier,  wire from a political sign,and    springs taken from a piece of discarded furniture. The rest is made from .032 mild sheet steel. I have seven blossoms left to make my next project.
