It can be a very suitable gift for any occasion - wedding, anniversary, Valentine's Day, birthday, etc. But the best occasion is the 6th or 7th wedding anniversary - an anniversary of iron or copper! Signed. Why metal flower? One day in May 2015 I made made wrought copper tulip for my wife. 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. 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 acrylic 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 atmospheric conditions your flower could rust more or less. The more moisture - the more rust.
