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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

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.

Love these!! Jellyfish are a fav of mine! I would have loved to have one!

There are two still available. The center one is sold. I'm happy to discuss prices and shipping.

I appreciate it, but I’m going to move soon and I won’t be able to take it with me, but maybe someone else will see this and you’ll get some offers.

The gallery is Argyle fine Art in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada the show is called Preshrunk. You can contact the gallery in advance of the show to reserve the item you want.

Could we get closeups on all three?

Also, I see a lot of people are asking about them, maybe you could include a link to your site or something?

Really cool pieces too btw 😁

Cool! That top-right one has a great sense of movement in it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

wow this is some cool stuff I'd definitely love to afford if shippable

Very interesting concept and pieces, I love them!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

I'm happy to chat about it. I am in Canada so depending on where you live I'm not sure what shipping would be. I believe I can make individual boxes to ship them without damage.

Very cool ... neat work and very imaginative .... I keep collecting scrap copper wire all the time from my work renovating and fixing things and often imagined doing stuff like this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

It's pretty fun I gotta say. So many different things to do.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Wow i really like the center one, its really nice. Good job man!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I looked at the title and then looked the picture expecting something squishy and was very confused. But then it clicked and wow! Fantastic work, I love all the tendrils and the motion you’ve captured.

Nice!

Hello to the loud seal that middle jelly is resting on :)

If you flip it and look from the back it's a whale!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago
