Any chance you'd reveal your source for the hollow metal spheres?

[kevincaron]

Sure, they are spun metal balls. I get them at the local metal yard here in Phoenix. They are most often used for decorations on fence posts.

Or just search the web for spun metal balls.

Just be ready for the price... Not cheap at all !!

That's why this is definitely not public art.

This piece is perfect for the backyard of someone who loves light and shadow.

And if they want to do it when they're drunk, well, that's up to them, I guess.

does that go outside or inside? seems like it would be easy to vandalize by bending it at the base

[kevincaron]

Well it is made for outside but now that you put that thought in my head (and everyone else's ) I will have to think about it some.

Drunk people don't have to think that much to achieve destruction they just do.

[kevincaron]

Destruction?

[Imfrugal33]

Thank you...and hey, you weren't joking at all about the price! Thanks again.

Put it this way if your sculpture is between a tavern and a house of one of its patrons, a drunk person will be riding your statue.

its newtons first law of stupidity

This is my kind of "work"! I get to play all day and make cool stuff.
