A November Commision

Hey there web guest....
When showing step by step how I made a Raven sculpture, I received some good feedback from readers. So I thought to include a little photo shoot of the next piece in the works, an orchid/flower wall piece.
​ So far it contains about 40 flowers and approx. 80 copper pieces.
