Therapy for the 'Metal Florist'

[Kev Pugh]

The Guy who inspired me to begin making metal flowers invited me to use his forge today for some therapy in the form of making a rose out of a heavier gauge metal...........

Rather chuffed with the result..............the rose is 2 1/2 inches across and the arrangement is nearly 9 inches at its widest....

Wow, impressive!!
How much does one of these weigh?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Looks heavy. Good work, Kev!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Thanks, it weighs in at a little over 2 pound so not that heavy.....

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Very cool Kev - what was it like using the big forge?

 

[Kev Pugh]

Cheers Chris, like a kid in a sweet shop I could do this all day, in fact I would do this all day given the chance..

 

[Pete Askew]

Fabulous stuff Kev, I really like the design. Mind, that is going to need one hell of a jacket if it's going top be a brooch!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Thanks Pete, the design forms as I work that way it has a more organic feel to it

Mother Liked her Birthday Prezzies, that makes making these very special, it's been a while since I've seen mother totally speechless......and hopefully with the tea light rose stand she won't have any more near misses...

 

[Chris Dodkin]
