Finally finished the copper barn owl sculpture. Nearly every 'feather' was individually brazed in place. The difficulty with brazing is that continual heat is applied to melt the brazing rod, which often inadvertently melts the brazing that's already been fixed, meaning bits that have been fixed in place can drop off! It's often frustrating! Here are some more progress pictures and the finished sculpture.

I've been busy with various things at the moment, but I've made a few items that I'd like to share. These include a bird of prey sculpture, the wings of which move in the wind, a fairy, hare, spider, bird feeder and a raven. On top of this I've been busy fulfilling regular orders for Calla lilies, roses, bird baths etc. Remember if you want something unique making, contact me and I will see what I can do.
