Project 3 from Youngnstudly. Catergory: Decorative Metal Art

Very cool. And nice touch with the Everlast forum in the background

There was someone on here awhile ago that used the wire from a length of romex as a filler rod to TIG copper, which I intend to try when I get the chance.

Around here, metal cactus are fairly popular for yard art - bigger than the roses, but perhaps less intricate (especially the prickly-pear variety). An idea for next V-day?

I had a little bit of romex laying around but the diameter was huge compared to the thin copper sheet and tubing I used, so I scrapped that idea. I put 20oz in the first description, but the copper I used might actually be 16oz (upon second thought....with a good nights' rest behind me).

I like the cactus idea a lot, especially since the roses never get watered at her house! I've seen some pretty cool ideas from others on making roses, one design that stuck in my mind used 2 or 3 pcs. of copper wire that were twisted together as the stem, and the (artist) drilled the stem in a million places to add authentic looking thorns!

I was trying to think of a way to make a fruit or vegetable plant the other day using copper and stainless. I have a whole year to think up my next idea.
