She liked it so much, that the single tulip became a series of wrought metal flowers. Some from iron, others of copper, some tinned, others patinated or cut-through for a lacelike effect. Than I started playing with shapes, different methods of welding & blacksmith technics, cutting & patinating chemicals, varnishing. After the first several tulips I made some poppies. Everything is handmade, but I use not only the classical instruments, but also welding machines & plasma cutter. We decided to to share these tender & beautiful, yet unexpectedly rough flowers with you. They will never wither & die, but will bring you an air of antiquity & eternity. My metal flowers could be an unique gift, or arranged in your home, on your patio or yard. They look equally good as singles or in a bouquet, laying on a table/mantle or in a vase/bottle. Some of the flowers are/could be set in stone, piece of wood or brick by drilling a small hole for the stem. Tulips, poppies, doesn't matter what the flower is, could even be used for self defence - they are so solidly made! :) All flowers have matte acrylic varnish, that is unnoticeable & delicate. The poppies are three blooms on a stem like a bouquet, & usually are taller than the tulips. They vary between 33cm(13in) & 45cm(17,7in). Be careful! Although I do my best to smooth all the edges, there is still some roughness, it's tin & wire, after all. Keep in mind, that in spite of the acryllic varnish, the edges of the iron flowers are still able to rust. This is not a defect, but an Effect! Depending on the place you keep them, & the athmospheric conditions your flower could rust more or less. The more moisture - the more rust.
