A few days ago I received two request, one for some kind of pagan symbol like Eye of Horus and the other wanting an ATC with a marijuana leaf. So this is what I did.

The first is Eye of Ra, on the opposite side is Eye of Horus.

Think I might do some more on these themes. Would love to have your comments.

Hello

EARRINGS

Early on Aug. 1, I did a neat post about the chains I have been making, except I forgot to "Save" just closed the page. So I lost it all. Was going to re-do, but got working on a couple new ideas which have developed into some Earrings that I have just listed at ArtByUs.
I don't wear jewelry, so your comments will be appreciated.

CHAIN OF STEEL

I have made this chains of steel using various size of steel welding rods.

It is aprox. 15 inches long and will support a very heavy plant or sculpture.

I have listed it on ARTBYUS

Or I can make one especially for you. I charge $1.20 an inch.

IN THE PINES

Have listed another 4'' diameter circle, entitled " IN THE PINES" It has been as difficult to photograph as it was to weld.
This piece is all steel, although there is a little brass platting on the 4' ring.
Again, I have listed it at ArtByUs where there are larger photos. Bidding starts at $8.00, no reserve.

BEYOND, Zen Reflection

Steel and Brass Sculpture, 2.5" x 5"
Comes with black cord for hanging.
Certificate of Authenticity.
I started welding some small Artist Trading Card size steel sculptures a few weeks ago. This one I liked very much but is bigger than the 2.5 x 3.5, so am listing it as sculpture/ metal art at ArtByUs

Copper Rose with Brass Leaves

I have just listed an single Copper Rose with 3 Brass Leaves. It is a little smaller than the ones that I make that fit in a vase. This one can lay on a table or can be hung on a wall. It comes with a white gift box, gift card and story card explaining how I made it.

The price is $26. atArtByUs

TREES

Have listed 3 small steel/brass sculptures, 2 ATC size and 1 which is 4 inch diameter at ArtByUs

I thought I should try some different styles, as not everyone likes the abstract ones. In the past I have done Welded Steel Trees with Copper Leaves, but they take a lot of work and I have to price them in the hundreds. So these were fun and fairly fast.
They each come with a black cord for hanging, and Certificate of Authenticity.
Auction starts at $8. each.

Zen Reflection

A new listing at ArtByUs COLOR, Zen Reflection

What is the Color of the Wind?

or Reflection on the air that fills your lungs. Deep Breaths.

Comes with black cord for hanging

There are many ways to hang this Reflection.

An artist that I admire, Angie Reed Garner, has put a number of her paintings for sale as she is moving. I do recomend looking at her site. link to Angie Reed Garner

ONE HAND, Reflection on Zen

Have listed another of my small "Reflection" sculptures at ArtByUs
ONE HAND, Reflection on Zen.

"You know the sound of two hands clapping.
What is the sound of one hand clapping?"

Steel and Brass, 4 inch diameter.

Comes with black cord for hanging.

Can be hung various ways.

Starting bid is $5, shipping is $1.50

Making a change.

My daughter, C, suggested that I use the name "Reflections" instead of " reminders" for my little steel sculptures.
I like "REFLECTIONS" so much better. Am changing the name to that.
They are getting bids at ArtByUs. One auction has already ended. I received 3 bids which ended at $11.28. for "BALANCE"
I will put more "REFLECTIONS" on Auction tomorrow and the following days. Most will be abstracts, however, a few will be more realistic.
I have always loved abstractions but as I live in Oklahoma, I find that people mainly buy realistic images. This is a chance for me to find a more sophisticated audience.

New Direction, Small Steel/Brass Sculptures

I have just listed 5 small welded steel and brass ATC at ArtByUs. I am using the term "Reflections" as they are intended to be hung as a reminder of various ideas. A black cord is included for hanging. They also can be hung from other sides. Starting bid on each is $3. If you purchase more than 1 will include a welded steel rod from which you can hang several.

Some Progress on ATCs

Have been working on what I call ATC but I think I like them best hanging in groups of threes. Have used some black bead cord, which I think works. Have also welded a hanger for them.. Would really like to know what you think. (These are approx. 2½x3½, steel and brass.)

This, I call, ArtistTradingCircle, as I have changed the size (4", steel/brass ) also the shape. I know, I am not "coloring inside the lines", as I was taught to do.

But I am having Fun!
I not sure where I am going.
I guess when I get there, I'll know, ,,,,,,,,, maybe.

More photos of Copper Rose Buds

Took a friend's suggestion and tried a dark green background for my roses. Good Idea!
Need to look for some different dark green drapes
Yes, these are the ones going to the romantic couple to use in their wedding ceremony.
I will mail them Monday.
I am going back to welding some more ATCs or whatever they will be.
