Actually this piece is early in the flower series. There is a welded wire armature that holds the stems in place. Other than that this piece and the container are a cold construction, no welds. The flowers are heat coloring the leaves a commercial patina. This pc was my wifes birthday present. The only wire in the pc is the armature, the Stems started as sheet stock. The first fifty in the series are heat coloring the rest are patinated. The flower heads are removable, and for the most part interchangeable. This one works out a bunch of form issues, but leaves room in the patina and heat coloring areas for further experimentation and finish. That's why there are so many of them. If I made copper look delicate,suggested a moment in time, or breathed some life into an idea then these are successful. more pics tomorrow Brad
