My welding is the worst so I need to clean it up a bit but pretty happy with it. Thanks for looking. 

You've done a nice job capturing what looks to me like worry on the face, well done! Nothing wrong with welds to my eye, seems in keeping with the finish on the steel.

I have to agree with Larry, your sculpture conveys a sense of sorrow and misery in an attractive way. The rough welds fits the feelings well. 

I really like it Pedro, I think making the welds pretty would diminish the effect. That's just my opinion, it's your piece you should make it how you like.

I agree, it does send a sense of longing and loss. Good job.

I think the welds fit in fine. I like the patina on the face especially.

That is a deeply evocative piece. I agree that the welds being imperfect fit the idea of a jail - unless its meant to be a window? But it captures the unexpectedness of loss and longing, no time to perfect the cage that holds us back...

  I have said it before, but I always like your creative style and this one is up there.  Thought provoking and very nice.

I agree with the others. Well done. 

 

Just in case you do something similar with the bars through the frame, if you don't want the welds to show, drill the frame and put the bars through with the bars being just inset from the frame, then you can plug weld the bars in the holes and grind the welds flush. 

I have also used the hole technique to weld other shaped pieces to another piece so the attachment point wouldn't look welded. 

Not saying I see an issue with how you did it on this piece.
