New Year. New Work (in progress).

Four new Sculptural Modern Bird feeders. Just listed on my website.

Two new large freestanding bird feeders I just finished. The pieces of steel are curved, so the entire feeder is cylindrical. Each is about 24" X 12" and will stand at least 6 feet tall when in the ground.

A pair of new vases I just finished. They are made from welded steel and treated with a patina. About 17" tall with a 10" glass insert.
