The owl has a stainless steel strap skeletal structure with individually formed copper sections riveted to the stainless structure. The front half of the copper tree limb (pointer) was filled with molten lead to add a counterweight to balance out the weight distribution so the wind pointer could rotate properly. The compass rose was cnc plasma cut out or 1/4&quot; thick naval brass. The letters were gold leafed. The central axis section was made of stainless steel. The eyes were hand blown glass by a local glassblower.</p><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/images/architectural_gallery/quique/2008/06/owl_weathervane">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/images/architectural_gallery/quique/2008/06/owl_weathervane#comment Architectural Gallery architectural copper gold leaf Outdoor patina Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:47:33 -0500 QuiQue 5954 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/blog/golddragon101/2008/03/kokopelli_art_native_american_yard_art <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <p>A couple pictures of my Kokopelli metal sculpture, made of steel, standing almost 4 feet tall. Great for Garden art, outdoor sculpture, yard decor or indoor statuary. Protector of Gardens! This Kokopelli statue contains scared geometry and is made from 1 flat steel sheet, precision cut, welded, and then powder coated to produce a very unique mythical lawn statue. When the wind blows he wobbles back and forth as if he is playing his flute. Oh, and the base is a crop circle.</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/blog/golddragon101/2008/03/kokopelli_art_native_american_yard_art">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/blog/golddragon101/2008/03/kokopelli_art_native_american_yard_art#comment accents Art artwork creatures decor decorations fantasy Garden Indoor Kokopelli lawn metal mythical Native Outdoor sculpture sculptures statuary Statue statues steel designs yard Thu, 20 Mar 2008 06:56:07 -0500 GoldDragon101 5329 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/blog/golddragon101/2008/03/3d_rotations_of_my_various_metal_artwork_including_dragons_scorpion_kokopelli_and_various_others <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <p>I would like to invite anyone to visit <a href="http://www.revver.com/u/gtbsteelart/">3d Rotations</a> of my metal art sculptures.
