I do make pottery. I make a lot of pottery but I also work with metals. This is my latest tin sculpture, still unnamed.
It is based on 2 flattened olive oil cans. The fins and scales are from Country Time Lemonade cans that were flattened and then cut or punched. The gold details are from an old waste paper can. The eye once held a rivet to a wooden foot.
The blue details are from cat food cans and they were crenelated in my newest tool. It's a great tool but only takes pieces 2 inches wide and only from very light gauge metals. It might actually be able to deal with heavier material but my fingers can not.
The pink? From Ferrero Rocher candies. There are hundreds of heavy staples, each bent over by hand and then a few pop rivets. There's a hanging wire on the back. From tail to layered lips it is 18 inches long.
