A dipper is a spoon?.....well..a really big spoon!

I'm a member of the Pocosin Metal Arts Guild. They decided to mount a traveling show with the theme being "Spoons". No problem!....of course my spoon has to be bigger than everybody elses spoon...measuring 20x18x30 inches.... 

This piece doubles as a potential table that mounts to the wall.. waist high...or higher. The bowl is hammered from sheet copper with a hand wrought steel handle. The water is fused glass....which overflows from the bowl. What's in your spoon?!?

I've got ROCKS in my head!.....

I may just be an old bag of bones to you..but I know where to "hang out" and have fun!

We needed a little light down at the dock....well maybe not little!

                                             Copper and glass.....all six feet.
                                              Anybody got a spare gondola?

View from the treehouse over the Trent River.

Pondering............already relocated to it's new owners estate!

 

     Repurposed metal objects, hand wrought copper, and cast glass. Around 7 ft. tall.

      One inch thick cast glass with koi and pond fish swirling deep within the watery glass.

 Dragonflies with iridescent glass bodies and hammered copper wings hang from the steel gongs.

It's growing larger...and larger......and sprouting roots!

                                           And the flower bud lights up......no kidding!

3 foot tall Venus Flytraps...what's in your yard?

First prototypes.....working out colors and shapes. 

Octopus, Stingrays, and ship n' bottle hanging sculpture

   

  Each Stingray can be optionally lighted as well as uplighting to highlight the octopus. Small copper squid or glass domed jellyfish may be used to disguise the small LED spotlights that focus on each individual stingray. This octopus will eventually hang from an antique anchor and chain. Other possibilities are to light from inside the octopus eyes and tentacles with various colored miniature LED lighting.
