"Treasure" large outdoor art panel for private garden

From Art Panel for Garden - Private Client


"Treasure"
Panel number One of Three (3' wide x 9' long)

Daina here.... above is our first piece of custom garden art! Deja and I collected the rusty background... 4" x 6' strips of rusted steel found while taking walks in the desert.

I "quilted" the strips together with wire in random small sections until it was a big enough background to cover the support frame that Fran and Dustin welded. Deja prepped and patinaed the copper squares and rectangles. Dustin helped me fabricate and put together the supports that "float" the copper.

Dustin, Fran and I installed the piece today. Everything went smoothly and the client was very pleased. I am so proud of our studio! Way to go team...High fives all around. :)

I love turning "trash" into fantastic art material. It goes without saying, one mans trash is another mans treasure.
