Artist's Comments

I've posted these in various forms before but never just one by itself. Mostly posting to promote the fact that they are (finally) for sale in my etsy!

Made to order, if you're interested.

Oh how lovely!! I've always seen these sold at fairs and admired them. :heart:

I'd love to try my hand at making one in the future. Are they horribly difficult? :)

Try to define art and you try to destroy it. Laws can't define it. Nor medium chain it. No old idea or imitation survives. It creates its own laws of change. Witness time and again to the rebirth of art. It translates the human experience because Art IS.

The ones I've seen at fairs were simpler looking (cruder anyway) but harder to make as they were soldered together.
Mine are held together with brads which is easy to do. I basically used a paper flower pattern that I remembered from my childhood but made it out of copper foil. You can get the foil at craft stores, it's sturdy enough to hold its shape but thin enough to cut with scissors, very nice stuff.

Awesome! :heart: I had thought about using the copper sheets sold in craft stores but was afraid it was a little too flimsy. Thank you for the info! :hug:

Probably the only kind of rose that would turn green after a while

Yes, adequately disturbing.

:) I don't use Etsy. I've considered it but heard it's really hard to get sales.

The sales don't come in by themselves, you have to promote it in other places. But they do come if you work on it.
