This work of art is made entirely by hand, slightly larger than life size of a forget-me-not The leaves & stems are made of iron, & the inflorescences - of brass. Everything is chemically patinated & covered with a thick layer of matte varnish. However, when they are in outside conditions, over time they will change. There may be differences between the forget-me-not you will receive & the one in the picture because everything is made by hand & there are always differences. Therefore, you will have a unique. The stone will also be different, but very similar. Why metal flowers? 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. 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 defense - 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 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. etal Flower On Stone, Forget-Me-Not Stalk, Twig Steel & Copper Botanical Sculpture By The Steel Style Things, 7Th Anniversary Gift
