metal_0036 :: pterry
When I started doing metalwork, I wanted to build two things: a motorcycle and a pterodactyl. Just finished the latter, former a ways off. Needed to protect our new koi in nuPond from being an avian buffet, so it was a best-of-both-worlds situation (AND a planter). Plus I got to play with drilling into rock to make his base. His total wingspan is a little over four feet, so this was my first foray into larger things. Won’t be my last. T-rex, here I come.
metal_0031.1
Decided the original looked too unfinished (and not raw) so I went with black. Dig the contrast.
metal_0035
Three sheets of metal, a threaded rod, and a long-neglected birdbath.
metal_0034
Started as one thing, became something else; in this case, a planter that K claimed straightaway.
metal_0030.1
Moved the original shade over to 0032 so I made this one to replace it.
metal_0033
Two tiny versions of the pot from metal_0031 filled with scrap in two (tiny) ways.
