jeffro1205 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Well I started messing around in the basement a few days ago and wanted to make something for Valentines Day for my wife.... I had some copper wire and some thin copper sheet metal and this is what I came up with...She loved it but she thinks everything that I make is great... So I wanted to try to get an opinion from others who make things... Let me know what you think and if you have made a flower and have pics please share them... thankshttp://s1103.photobu...opper%20flower/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Jeff - Nice Job - When making flowers, it helps to distort the edges of the petals, Like this : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 i like how youve done the flower nice and delicate - and how youve marked the petal, also quite like the twisted stem :) its very pretty. jk's advice is good too though, rippling the edges adds something,and perhaps flaring the outer petals out slightly more than the inner. but thats being really picky ( like i like people to be with me :) ) and the flower is beautiful done as it is. nice one- bet she loved it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro1205 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 2.0 Second flower, thanks for the tips. I think this one turned out better, and she claimed this one too... http://s1103.photobucket.com/albums/g474/jeffro1205/copper%20flower/Copper%20flower%20number%202/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
