A second entry... This is a sunflower windspinner I finished recently. Ity has counter rotating blades, and the sun tail turns it into the wind. I had this in a fairly strong wind a few days ago, and it was spinning so fast it was a bit scary, but the balance is so spot on that the whole mount and spinner was barely moving, just the blades moving! Also, the center of the sunflower is stationary while the blades turn!

Here's a video of it in action: https://youtu.be/0pMTHMMtq1s


Thanks!

And my 3rd... Another tree of life.... This one has maple and oak leaves hand formed and welded to a ring rolled from 1/2" square tube. As a little extra embellishment, I weave different earth tone colored aluminum wire around the outside edge. It's hard to tell from this picture, but the whole cutout is planished to a concave shape before it's mounted to the ring which gives it additional depth.

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

The Judging is Complete. I gotta tell y'all that it was very hard to decide, as there were some top quality photos of your work submitted.

In order to be totally fair, I downloaded all the photos & put them into a collage, so I wouldn't associate a name or the "write-up" description in my decisions.

There is a chance that two or more photos belong to the same winner, so if you happened to place 1st, 2nd and 3rd, we're gonna have to find a better way to finalize the selections.

I'll need to gather your Name & email, in order to send you your Coupon Code for the Amount You Won.

You can email me at: bill@steelf-x.com

Congratulations to All of You & Especially to the Winners! Amazing Talent Among You.

Thanks,

Bill

Here's one source: http://www.steelfxpatinas.com

The Dyes & Stains are on this page: http://steelfxpatinas.com/product-category/metal-dyes/

Blues & Reds Can also be accomplished using TORCH F/X™, BLAZE F/X™ & FLAME F/X™, Using Either the Liquid, Water-Based Patinas or the GEL PATINAS.

Here's a few photos of an easy, new process using ULTRA-CLEAR POLY-GEL & The COLOR-WASH™ Stains.

First Picture is a 7Foot Eiffel Tower under construction, I have made 10Ft tower before.
Second picture is a light house I need to paint, I had to stop working on it until I finish a 7 and 10 foot tower.
The last picture is of a Space Needle I made as a prototype, someone bought it so I have to make another except larger now that I know everything fit right.
Thanks Dave Tarver
