That is awesome! I know you heard this alot but you are really pretty!! I also agree you should sell the roses they go like crazy at craft fairs in my area. Acutally all the metal sculpttures do. (I have been trying to get my twin to make me something for years, he's a metal sculptor as well)

I had no idea anything like this was even possible!!!! Sooo amazing, when I hear welding I usually think of something like making parts of a machine....this is too cool, I had no idea welding could be artsy like that
And the rose itself is very beautiful!

I estimate that it takes between 8-10 hrs to make one of those roses. I have looked on etsy just to see if I could have a unique product, but there are already a few people selling something similar and much more "finished" looking.
Sometimes the beauty is in the imperfections

I made a couple of roses awhile ago using a different type of welding that caused weld spatter. The roses were delicate enough that I couldn't exactly grind the spatter off, so I left it on and just said that the roses had "aphids" LOL
