Home / Recent Work / Improvisation #2, 2017, made from scrap of copper sheet, with lingam stone added, 8" x 11" x 4" / Improvisation #2, how it was made 24
- 14. Trying to make this part of it a little more interesting, I put some curvature into it.
- 15. Silver-soldering seams.
- 16. Seams silver-soldered.
- 17. That pod-type bulge in the middle of the stem called for something in it. I found this "lingam stone" online, the perfect shape, and the colors are good too.
- 18. One of the first stakes I ever made, on the left, is the perfect shape for forming the pod.
- 19. Planishing the pod, using that same stake.
- 20. Getting it to fit just right.
- 21. All done. Growing out of the ground (bottom part), it lovingly clutches it's offspring, with a built-in umbrella to protect it from sun and rain.
- 22. Bronze hanging wire was silver-soldered out of sight on the back.
