Admiring The Peonies
27 X 27. Just finish this 9/4/2009 mounted in Brass frame, Done in copper foil with 20ft braided wire reinforcing. Lots of long narrow pieces in the birds wings & Tails. & real small pieces in the flower center. Cut and fitted all pieces and held in place with pins. cut brass frame and held it in place with pin. Then the proceeded to work from the frame into flower to foil and refit any pieces that where to tight. Tack soldering as I proceeded. If not I found the pieces moved, because of the size of the project. Took two and half rolls of solder. & 1 1/2 rolls of 7/32 foil & some smaller foil for the flower center etc.
