New large cupric blue #servingbowl she’s a big’un. 11”x5” #metalworking #copper #patina #metalartwork #madebyhand #madinla #metalworking
Swipe for Process photos... A tricky green, this one. Took 2 tries to get it to stick, and was never sure how it would turn out until the very end. But there’s nothing more like Christmas Eve in metalworking than applying patina and watching it change. #patina #metalworking #copper #green #madeinla #metalwork #process #servingbowl #metalartwork #madebyhand

What did you do this weekend? I made #servingbowls since the only one I’ve ever made sold a few weeks ago. Experimenting with sizes and colors. #copper #metalwork #metalworking #madebyhand #raisingmetal #patina #madeinla #homedecor #functionalart
She’s a big’n. Ow. Time to get my wrists back into shape. Or at least get used to the pain again! #copper #metalworking #metalforming #raising
This is what almost $400 of material looks like. Ouch. But I need to make again... #fucktrumptarriffs #makeordie #metalworking #metal
By no means is this piece finished... but unfortunately I won’t get to work on it for another few months. So I brought it home for safe keeping until then. She’s a beast.... #metalwork #sculpture #metalart #steel #copper #brass #somanydetails #neversatisfied #hammerwork #welding #handmade #art
Not amazing photos, but a pretty stunning backdrop for the LA Lily sculpture this weekend. #sculpture #metalwork #lily #largescaleart
Details details.. so many steps to get the look. This piece will take months to finish. Cut metal, heat-hammer-repeat, drill holes and clean, abrade surfaces and clean, patina #1, patina #2, highlight surface, clear coat outside, abrade and clean inside, buff all the edges, clear coat inside and edging, then wax and buff... and these are just small parts of the whole. #nofilter #metalworking #processiseverything #metalwork #copper #brass #sculpture
I’d say it’s a yes on the leaves. #process #sculpture #metalworking #metalwork #womenwhometalsmith #copper #steel #brass
What next? More flowers? More branches? “Leaves”? Or patina and be done with it? Don’t mind me, I’ll just be sitting here staring at the wall until I figure that out... this thing is a beast. #sculpture #process #whatsnext #metalworking #metalwork #millerwelds #steel #brass #copper #workingitout #art #madeinlosangeles
