Swamp Iron???? Ok, Ok sorry but I just wanted you to look. JUST LOOK!!!

This piece comes from a sketch I drew up in the 2011/12 winter. I modified the look to be thin and tall, I just felt like it would look better. All of the iron was forged from 2” x ¼” bar stock, with exception of the cattail stems (1/4” round rod). The frame is textured with “hit & miss” texture, I ran past the confines of the frame because I wanted to add depth to the piece and life. Living things don’t care about the boarders or bounds that you might want them to live with in-they grow were the sun draws them. Adding the dragonflies really brought the piece together and made all aspects of it pop.
This piece is all hand forged, and textured, it solid iron, and finished with beeswax. It measures 40” tall and 14”wide.
