Latest Art Project

This is a project that I think I am going to submit to the local art gallery. It is a combination of welded art and my not-so-great painting skills. I call it Lavender Moon

thats so kool!

I like that.....good job!

Wow, I love it! Beautiful!

Wow, I really like that!!! It's beautiful! You're so talented in creating pretty metalwork pieces.

That's fantastic, wish I was half as artistic as you are. I can't even draw a straight line and that includes using a ruler...

Ooh! That's beautiful!! Well done!!

The moon itself isn't uniform so your painting skills look fine for it. Though if you wanted a perfect finish you could use an airbrush or spray paint it. I wonder how a small paint roller would work, too? It would be easy.

I remember you were trying to sell some of your work. How is that going? Have you sold anything?

It's BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow. I'd buy that. If I could afford it. How big is it?

I am terrible at drawing which is why I choose to work with metal. Everybody has a medium that they are good at whether it is music, drawing, painting, sculpture, or anything else, you just have to find your inspiration!

Thanks, I was trying to remember everying I learned from watching Bob Ross paint happy trees ;-P

Selling stuff is going very slowly - I have only sold one piece so far, but at least that one piece gives credibility to my efforts. If you want to see some of my other pieces, my page is here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/weldrwomn

The reason that I was thinking of submitting this and a few other pieces to the local art gallery is so I can start getting established as a local artist.

I try to keep all of my art reasonably priced so that it is generally affordable. It is 16" long by 10.5" wide.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

Are there any local arts and craft fairs in your area? I know booths at those tend to be a little pricey, but maybe you can find someone to split the booth with. IMO, I bet if people see your work in person and up close that they would be more likely to buy it - and in person you can always haggle price a bit if a person is willing to take more than one piece.

Keep it up! You have some lovely work.

I just added you to my favorites on Etsy -- and if that beautiful tulip is still there when I finally get a new job, I'll celebrate by buying it. You're doing such pretty things!

Nice stuff hope it starts to sell

You are very talented

Beautiful picture! What kind of metal did you use? I wonder how it would look with a black back ground, an orange moon with a light metal...kind of a halloween feel. It's beautiful as it is, just throwing out ideas here.

I checked out your etsy page, and fell in love with the butterfly made out of fork and spoons! That is just too adorable! All your work is amazing. You are very talented.

I used steel for both the tree and the moon. The white background is just paper towels - not part of the actual piece.

I considered doing a harvest moon, but I figured it would be too Wal-mart-ish

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments!

I like her spoon pieces too. I loved the flower especially, but it's already been snapped up.

The welcome sign is really gorgeous too.

When I first saw the pictures of this sculpture it spoke to me, I knew I had to have it.

I purchased it from Welderwoman from her website, and it arrived today!

I thought I knew exactly where it was going, but now I can't decide if it looks better on the green wall or the yellow wall.

But whichever I decide. I LOVE IT!

green wall................................... yellow wall


Thank you Welderwoman!

My first thought was the yellow wall.... but it really does look gorgeous on both!

Congratulations on your new addition!

....On a different note... your work - ALL of it is amazing! I love the butterflies!!!!!! I second the motion to try to get to a crafts fair - some way, somehow - and definitely pursue the local art gallery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
