2025 has been the year of the copper jellyfish for me. Here is the final in a year long series. Hope you enjoy.

The matchsticks are cardboard. All are actually burned as is the mounting board to get the proper shape. The matchsticks themselves have added blackening.

Made these minis (4"X5") for a show coming up in the new year. From a series I'm doing with fire and matches titled "do you play with matches". You can see the first work in the series on my profile.

Mixed media and fire.

This is number six in a seven part series of jellyfish. Made from recycled copper pipe and wire as well as local beach finds. Copper is all hand pounded.

Measurements of entire sculpture 14"x14"x18" high.

I hope you enjoy.

Rogers recently purchased our local wired cable/internet provider. Service has shit the bed as expected. Signal drops regularly where it was very consistent before. Cell service has also deteriorated to the point that I can see the cell tower from my house but have no signal now.

We were happy with our little provider now we have to find another. Luckily there are a few left serving our rural community.

Fuck the telcos and the government's that consistently keep them safe from competition.

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.

Vagden knee high wool socks from JB fields. They certainly are great socks.

Find a local farmers market. Guaranteed fresher product. Locally grown so less travel. Support a small business. Get a much better greens experience.

There is no testing anymore for food products in the US. All those who were responsible for testing have been fired. All imports to Canada are affected because testing on fresh food items aside from a few items is done in the US.prior to import. That testing is not repeated in Canada.

Found this hanging in the little kitchen thing at my kids Jiu Jitsu gym today (boxing, Jiu Jitsu and muay thai). It used to be a community center/church hall until recently. While I was making lunch for a seminar I spotted this gem and brought it home.

I Made it better with some gloves and belts. Now I will rehang it and see who notices.

Jellies 4, 5, 6 & 7 are on the way!

A fellow Lemmy user has ordered a jelly based on my last works so I decided I should make a few more.

These will be the tops for 4 new jellies that should be complete in a week or two.

Still smacking some copper around...

[-] bigfatzero@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago

It's hard to explain really. I just sort of did. I've always made art in some way. One day I picked up a hammer and a piece of old pipe. Then I braised some wire to it and it became something. I've never been able to explain it well. It just sort of happens. I don't have any training or extra knowledge other than what I have gained on my own.

Welcome to jellies!

Jellies #1,2 and 3 were pieces I made for a local art show. They are constructed of reclaim hand pounded copper and local beach wood and stones.

All sold

Commissioned custom jellies available on order.

I should also add I am happy to arrange barter for goods or services as opposed to cash for art pieces.

I finally got a Lemmy sign in for just art stuff. You can contact me here for any inquiries about purchases or custom work. I've been transitioning from American social media and making new fedi accounts and spreading them about. I enjoy sharing my work here and Is m just looking for a new way to reach people with my artistic endeavors.
