Excellent work, a real treat for the eyes !

Re: Metal Rose
Thanks for all of the compliments! If I was going to do it again I would definitely use a thinner material. It took a lot of muscle to form all of the petals. Plus it is rather top heavy.

I had about 7hours in it start to finish.

Re: Metal Rose
It looks like you just cut it off of a bush and laid it down. It looks like a real rose.

Hey Everyone,

I made this Rose a year ago. Thought you guys would be interested.
I made it all out of scrap steel I had lying around. The petals and leaves are maybe 14-16guage and the stem is .25" rod.
I finished the petals with a heat patina and the leaves with guilders paste. Then I clear coated the entire rose.

I'm always looking for feedback so feel free to tell me what you think.

Here is a link to my website with more of my sculpture work:
