I Made This

Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!

Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.

RULES:

Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:

Do not be a jerk.

- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, or bigotry of any kind.

- Don't try to sell stuff unless people ask. You can post your Etsy (or similar) if someone prompts you. No spamming self-promotion.

The first completed copper pieces I have ever done. I move around through mediums a lot because I get bored. I've never really worked with metal but it seemed like fun and I had some old copper pipe and wire. Now I am gathering up more for future projects.

One of these pieces actually sold about a day after I finished. My first ever art sale. Mostly I make art for myself.

Very pretty, this is something you'd see in a cool person's house/office

This is probably the nicest compliment I have ever gotten on my art. Thank you.

That was my thought too!

Out of curiosity, how much did it sell for? I can see something like this going for a lot

I am just starting my journey into selling the things I make and so honestly exposure is more valuable to me than selling for a lot. The first one sold for $300 Canadian plus shipping. That's about 210 freedom eagles. I've never taken an art class or shown my work anywhere and only recently on social media.
