Prairie Coneflower - metal

I know that this post is not really a sketch and I hope I don't get the "boot" for posting it but I was so excited about how it turned out, I had to share and I thought you might like to see where I went from the Prairie Coneflower sketch.... 

First the sketch.....


The interpretation of that sketch in steel......


This is made from pipe, expanded metal, rebar, shaped flat steel and the base is some kind of part off an old tractor. Artful recycling!
And don't worry - I will be back to posting sketches tomorrow!

    I love the interpretation of a sketch into a sculpture! Both pieces are wonderful.

    Yaa Laura! I work in lots of mediums, all seem to reinforce the others. Wonderful to see the metalwork! You go girl!

    I think they're both wonderful! I love the way you executed the leaves in the metal.
