metal sculpture class

I took a metal sculpture class this winter.  It was a ton of fun, but surprisingly stressful.  Not in a bad way, but it pushed me a lot.

This was my first project, a 'cold connections' project with no welding.  We needed a cover for the well that sticks out in the middle of my garden all ugly and stubby.  This is what I came up with.  Kind of ridiculous, but hey

My second project was a bench for the dining table, but I don't have a great picture yet.

The third project was a welding project.  This little guy basically fell together after I found the rusty chunk of metal that became the breastbone.

So much fun, but my art brain hurt after all that creativity!
