The first completed copper pieces I have ever done. I move around through mediums a lot because I get bored. I’ve never really worked with metal but it seemed like fun and I had some old copper pipe and wire. Now I am gathering up more for future projects.

One of these pieces actually sold about a day after I finished. My first ever art sale. Mostly I make art for myself.

    Could we get closeups on all three?

    Also, I see a lot of people are asking about them, maybe you could include a link to your site or something?

    Really cool pieces too btw 😁

        That was my thought too!

        Out of curiosity, how much did it sell for? I can see something like this going for a lot

          I am just starting my journey into selling the things I make and so honestly exposure is more valuable to me than selling for a lot. The first one sold for $300 Canadian plus shipping. That’s about 210 freedom eagles. I’ve never taken an art class or shown my work anywhere and only recently on social media.

      I’m happy to chat about it. I am in Canada so depending on where you live I’m not sure what shipping would be. I believe I can make individual boxes to ship them without damage.

    Very cool … neat work and very imaginative … I keep collecting scrap copper wire all the time from my work renovating and fixing things and often imagined doing stuff like this.

    I looked at the title and then looked the picture expecting something squishy and was very confused. But then it clicked and wow! Fantastic work, I love all the tendrils and the motion you’ve captured.
