New roses July 09

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Here’s a quick look at some new roses I’m currently building – these are the bases for roses that will have 2 -4 flowers each

Each rock is drilled through, and sits on stainless tubing mounted to a steel plate.  The rose will use the stainless tubing for both support and as a vessel for the electronics and battery.

A few changes here and there…

There’s been a new addition to the studio (of a sorts), and this in small part has helped contribute to my lack of updates on the website.  I’d like to welcome little Corwin to the Sunbrothers family and will be teaching him the finer aspects of welding and brazing, glasswork and electronics just as soon as Maia lets me have him alone at the shop.  I can’t wait to get a picture of him in a little welding helmet and leathers.

As far as sculpture is concerned, there is a Long Stem Rose on auction at the Crucible’s Fire Arts Festival (July 15-18).  This is part of a new batch of Long Stem’s as well as three larger ‘rooted’ roses.  Some are commissions and some will be held available to new inquiries.

Next up will be more pea vine work, and dag nabbit I’m itchin to start some more carrots.  As always, inquiries are always welcome and studio visits definitely encouraged!
