A Dahlia for Becky

Flower number two was created to hang on a greatroom wall and the client requested only the actual flower head, no additional frame or leaves.  Colors requested were something pumpkin and green.

Flower measures 40” wide by roughly 40” in length.  Petals were all cut from 18 gauge sheet metal as are the sepals that surround center. Copper was the choice for the center, it was then hammered and heated to create all the colors. Sits 3 inches off the wall.

The finish is a mixture of universal yellow and red, sage green, Japanese brown, with highlights of classic gold and bronze waxes.  UV protected acrylic over top.
