postleg Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Here are some pics of some of the stuff I've been making for The Nebraska Cattlemen's Ball art show. I finished a herford bull skull. The horns are made from an air brake shaft from a simi truck the skull is hammered out of sheet steel. I then started making roses 36 total so far. They are made from sheet copper electrodes from a industrial spot welder and are attached to 1/8 rod. Leaves all 108 of them were made from 1/4 in rod. I made the vase out of a piece of 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch tubing. It was then heat colored and clear coated. I made the roses during the week leading up to my daughters wedding. So I gave the ladies in the wedding party each one as a gift. The show is June 4 so I still have about a month to get a few more things made.

Bentiron1946 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I guess making all them roses helped keep your nerves quiet before your daughters wedding, my father-in-law was a mess before his daughter got married, fussed around worse than an old woman. Nice looking skull and that vase mimics the shape of the skull in an abstract way too, good work on all of it. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
