Dimensions

Frank Castiglione - Saturday, March 15, 2008 - 6:27pm

Hi Peggy,
Its been a while since I made the orchid, I think it is around seven inches across.The brass seemed to be relatively difficult to shape at the time.I prefer steel. I never used any kind of heat. Sorry for the vague answer.
