Forged and welded steel bamboo sculpture, based on a Chinese Watercolor I found online. The leaves are hammered from 1/4" sq. with textured and welded tubing.

I was going for something robust and realistic, while embracing the general messiness of the mig-welding, and incorporating it into the design.

32" high.

You're too kind, Arterly. Thank you. What's more, if you really want the piece, it's as of yet unsold. Let me know if you're at all interested.

You're quite welcome. And I really would like it, but unfortunately I don't live in my own place right now, and so am not free to decorate as I would like. But I am going to save your page just in case, for the future.
