New 3D silouette sculpture

Here is a new piece I did over the weekend. I have the idea for a while, just finally took the time Saturday. It is mild steel and copper and is about 28 inches tall.

It's funny that when something is supposed to happen, it seems to come so easy. Time flies when it's fun.
