Making flowers from metal. I pulled out the old chimney back boiler & thick walled copper tubing. Rather than throw the tubing away I made use of it making this. Aslso one in alloy. Next is one in brass, the sheet has just arrived. Brass is harder to work so may take longer. The stems have yet to be made & the buds.

Nice work !

What did you use to put the pattern on the petals ?

Stangely all I did was buy a small hammer flat end type & sharpened it up a little on the grinder. Then gently pound the copper till it looks good. On the alloy one I used a cheap draper battery operated engraver & played around with it. These are my 1st attempts so hoping it will get better with practice. Regards Steve.

Keep at it !

nice one
