Sculpture blog — Metal sculpture

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.
