Things like this happen in my world a lot. Some crazy beautiful piece of iron is completed and gone in a day or two - installed at it's final resting place with us left a little homesick for it. We live through the birth and creation of Cord's work starting with a pencil drawing. By the time it's grown wings to fly, we are in love. We wanna keep it. But there are anxious clients waiting. And so it goes, installed just the other night right as it got dark.
Cord and Beau took it to the homeowners and installed it together. These particular clients are a joy to work for as they love Cord's iron and give him lots of artistic freedom. He is a Master Blacksmith after all - this is what he does for a living.
So I caught this picture of him painting the highlights with his fingers - he definitely gets to know each piece.
He highlighted it with a bronze color on the sunflower and a silver color on the frame. It just jumped to life.
The sunflower pieces were quite difficult to land but as you can see - they are weaved together and riveted. Rivets can really bring something together in a most artistic way. It's the kind of piece you look at and look at to try to figure out how he did that!
I claim to be Cord's biggest fan - I know what he can do - I even know what he can do that he hasn't done yet - his own masterpieces.
This is a beautiful glimpse at his fluid lines, his love of nature and even an ability to keep any sized dog in or out! What a wonderful way to go.
Here it is installed - with a flash - in the dark!
That would look great in MY garden!
