Over the top goodness. By chance do you recall your first project?
Love the idea of blending fab and art, I'm not particularly skilled at either. (wannabe)
Thanks for the pics!

Thank you andI don't mind at all.
I started with very large copper cable,twisted it and parted off wires at each limb, also cut wires as it got closer to the ends to get the taper.
Then I gas welded over the whole thing to get the texture.
The candle holders are 3/4 copper tube, flared at the end and soldered to the copper cup, which is a piece of flattened copper tube cut in a circle.

Well, in the name of freeing up some precious shop space, the fish got evicted.
He will now live as a yard ornament.
