Copper Unicorn Fish

Gary Anthony - Thursday, December 30, 2010 - 2:44am

This "Kala"(unicorn fish) is formed in 24 gauge copper and measures 18 inches. I form the body in a wooden stake, and chase the lines with some chisels I've adapted. I solder a fin or two, and do a light heat treatment to get the orange color.

Anticlasic Raising in Free-Form

Jamie Santellano - Sunday, May 18, 2008 - 1:13pm

This is a piece of Copper scrap I found in my Studio, which was a negative from some flames I cut out a while ago.
