Wall art Project

[Kev Pugh]

As you know I've been making these for a while now and as I have a space through the art group I'm on the committee of to exhibit/sell over the coming couple of months locally I have decided to exhibit some wall art in the form of a metal sculpture.

Phase one.
A small bunch of roses seen here ready to have a few more leaves welded, these are around 30 cm in height and each rose head approx 75mm across made from 18 gauge sheet steel on 6mm mild steel round bar, they will be mounted along with other sculpted metalwork in a frame resembling a window.

Here seen sat on the bench in the 'making shed'...

Now that looks like it's going to be impressive Kev. No thorns?! Go on, just a few razor sharp ones hidden away!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Thanks Pete I'm hoping it will be, I had to stop for a while today to put together a Valentines pressie else there may have been more to show, and you are naughty to suggest such a beastly thing to do [devil]

 

[Paul Lange]

I had no idea you done this sort of thing Kev. You have probably mentioned it but I must have missed it. Impressive.

 

[Kev Pugh]

Thanks Paul

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Looks and sounds good, Kev. I'm sure they'll find a happy buyer.

 

[Stephen McCullough]

Looks good. I'm with Pete though - a few thorns!

I especially like the intertwined branches.

 

[Kev Pugh]

Well maybe just a few then just to see how they look/feel, may do some tomorrow

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Looking good Kev!

Sorry guys I haven't been around much lately, been out in the making shed continuing with my project, still more to do but nearing completion, needs to be done by Monday/Tuesday ready for exhibiting next week along with some other work.

Anyway thought I pop up a progress shot
