Default Fishing Lure Sculpture
Hi everyone. I posted this on my forum but after a nice chat with Glenn yesterday I'm going to try to cross link some info or repost things here as well.

Let's keep the knowledge moving forward!

It's weird how inspiration can come. I was looking through a catalog I got in the mail that had lots of fishing lures in it. Some were very beautiful so I got inspired to make one.

This sculpture is all copper except for the base which is steel and the eyes which are aluminum. It's about 3.5' from tip to tip and the body is around 3 or 4 inches wide. The body was formed from two pieces of copper that were formed with hammers on a shot bag, smoothed and formed on the english wheel, then welded together.

Nice lure, I.I.
Very reminiscent of Pete Fels' work bottle openers by Peter Fels
