Sculpture blog — copper art

I haven’t had a lot of time lately to create much original work, but I’ve been continuing with my bread and butter makes, the bird baths, bee baths, bird feeders and calla lilies. In my spare time I’ve also been experimenting with pyrography, which means writing with fire. Obviously this is totally different to metal sculpture as it involves burning onto wood, but I’m hoping to add it as another string to my creative bow.
