Mixed Media Dragon Fly
Copper, brass, steel, wire and resin. 400mm wing span. I'm selling this mixed media dragon fly for £1,700 plus shipping. Its a hand made piece using a wide range of materials. I've used Tig welding ,brazing and soldering to to join it all together.
The Dragon fly is mounted on a steel ball, and comes with two mounts, one for attaching to a post or tree, and a 5 foot steel garden stake. This piece can also be table mounted. Suitable for indoors or outdoors .The dragon fly has a welded steel frame . The body sides are hand formed from copper using leather bag bossing mallets and an English wheel. The brass stripes on the body are then cut out shaped and soldered onto the copper body.
The steel welded tail frame hoops are wrapped in curved copper with a hand hammered texture .
The dragon fly head has a steel frame with doomed mesh and hand formed copper .
The hand formed steel legs were the hardest parts to make, they are welded into a steel plate in the body and tig welded onto the steel ball.
