FIRST LIGHT Sculpture

The two owls I crafted are called northern saw-wet owls.What inspired me to make them is the challenge they represented with their soft breast feathers, but I think they are cute and I decided to craft two of them from copper sheeting and copper wire. I start with shop drawings that I sketch to size and incorporate the drawings onto the copper sheet, cutting the shapes to fit for the body portion,heating and shaping and and cutting all the feathers that are brazed unto the body( a lot of cutting for the breast and under body feathers ) I use oxygen and acetylene with copper brazing rods. The color are from heating and working the metal.This is my crafted impression two owls waiting for the rain to stop. If you are standing , looking at the owls, you will start talking to them my wife does they just make you feel happy at the moment. copper is the only medium I use for my work, it has nice rich color and is pleasing to the eye. my impressions are coated with multiple coats of clear lacquer to keep the birds from oxidizing. Most of my work are birds cause I like watching them and I feed them
