I am feeling much better. Not as grouchy. This piece was a trial run to see if I could make a lizard ball. Half way thru, I had a dream about stopping the sphere half way and making it into what you see now.
Today, I had the lizard ball half done and my wife told me to stop because it looked so great. One of my fellow artists told me I had make it into a complete sphere.
Anyway, I am going to post several pictures of the semi- complete lizard ball. It has a water spray on the top and I am going to make a rectangular base from old 3/4inch copper plumbing pipe. Of course I am going to have to figure out what kind of finish to put on it to protect it from the water. I might be able to have it powder coated or I could have it chrome plated. I would love to rust the steel and green the copper but I have never found a finish that the rust wouldn't eventually break through. If I planned on keeping it for myself, I wouldn't worry about putting any kind of finish on it.
Thanks, I am feeling much
