March 28, 201313 yr Usually do a piece for our local county fair fundraiser. Last year I did a wine rack and the year before a copper rose. This year I had decided to do a bird bath with a morning glory theme but I just couldn't get my head around it. Started a couple times and stopped--not happy with the way it looked. May have been the bowl just didn't go with what I wanted to do. The better half thought I should go ahead with a different bowl. Well in the middle of this after making several morning glory blooms similar to the ones made by William Bennet I saw an Iris made by Dorthy Stiegler in a newsletter of the Blacksmiths Guild of the Potomac. Had to try to make one. After a couple trys and and a disassembled Iris from Hobby Lobby thanks to my wife I came up with this. I hope they will be happy with the donation.
