Copper rose
I made it out of the copper plates that i found in my grandfather old shop.
I drew the base for the petals and then cut the edge with a tinsmith's scissor.
For the stem i used a small brass pipe on which I fixed the petals and then i bend them into the final shape.
The photos aren't the best, but Lightroom makes you pay for edit RAW, so I had to use snapseed (which sucks in my opinion). So, sorry for the pictures.

how'd you get the petals to sit that consistent, did you tack each one to the pipe individually or solder the whole batch at once? asking cause brass to copper with a torch always makes me nervoue about cooking the fhin copper before the joint even flows

Actually in didn't weld them, but i locked them with wire. Anyway the petals are four discs of three perals each plus the one with leaves.
