Welcome back to jellies!

A wonderful Lemmy user ordered this custom jellyfish several months ago. It's been a long time coming and he has been very gracious about it all which I am very thankful for.

It's made from hand pounded, recycled copper and local beach finds. It takes me about 40-50 hours in total to make one. This one is about 23 x 23 x 36 cm or 9 x 9 x 14 inches. They have been getting larger each go round as the originals were made for a 4" x 5" art show and sale. The next 3 will be even larger and are in process right now.

You can check out my profile for other copper artistic creations including the original 3 jellies I created in December/January for an art show and other fun stuff I like to create.

Thank you so much.

Ooooh that's a tough question. There are so many good hammers. I think an old chasing hammer from auto body work that I found in the bottom of my father's hammer box (yup, that's just what it sounds like, a big old wooden box full of hammers, glad it wasn't a bag...har har) when I was cleaning up the old tools. I was a little aggressive with it last week and it needs a new handle now but that's not anything I can't fix right here on my own.
