Your hubby could also get some great ideas and help from weldingweb.com. Working with chain is good because you can make any shape with it.

I actually like the pre-painted one better too. Don't know why..the painted one is awesome also. I just like the pure raw imagination that is in the unpainted one. Painting it just seems to take something away from it, in a way. Kind of like hiding what you actually did, or what it actually is. Does that make sense?

But, either way, AWESOME job!! I definitely think you could make money with things like that!

That, along with the other stunning piece you did, will be in the mail to my house on Monday right?

Work of art it is..... great job. You are indeed talented.

I never knew alot about welding, except what my hubby taught me (minor welds) and the little bit at work (which was usually done messily...not by me though, that was "a man's job" according to my boss) untill I had a friend make me a snake hook.... which takes a little more than a minor weld. I've since grown an appreciation for the difficulty of a good weld.

I do hope you continue to make items. Hmmmmm, your items are quite large, have you tried your hand at something small?

Wow! That's beautiful!

That is adorable (both painted and unpainted!) You should make one and sell it on eBay! I bet it would be snatched up quickly!

That's so creative and cool!

That flower is the largest art piece I have ever made. I also do the occasional small piece, too.

I did a really nice stainless butterfly for my sis and her hubby a while back for their wedding. http://weldingweb.com/showthread.php?t=8141

Thanks everyone for the nice compliments!

Do you sell these items you make? You totally should!

 

[pushylady]

Did your sister ever receive the butterfly? What a great wedding gift!

How fun!!

Last year my mother and I went to a craft fair and someone there was selling some things along this line. Mostly for gardens and things. Everything was made from old tools or metal pieces. Some were painted and some weren't. Mom and I were fascinated! I bought my step-dad a plane and my dad a drag-racing car from them. They had lots of animals and insects of all sizes and some pet food dish holders and things like that too.

If you ever make any more pieces I'd love to see them!!

I have not sold anything that I have made so far. I don't have a way to do that. Welding brings me joy and I love to give people things that I have made.

That is fantastic!
