Dragon Head: update

Here's an update on the Dragon Head project. I added the eyes and a neck frill. Drilled out a hole for the eyes, surrounded with a bent metal washer. I used the same scrap metal shapes for the jaw, horns and neck frill. I'd like to add some teeth to the upper jaw and a few chin whiskers. I don't want to get too detailed with this thing. It's all kind of stylized. Too much detail would get away from that. Now I need to start looking for something interesting to use as a base for this thing. All in all, as an early attempt at welding, I'm pretty pleased with what I've got so far.

Some new mobile's: 7/2014

I made a few new mobile's this month. Here are some photos. See more of them at my art studio web site: http://www.tesserak.net/html/mobiles.htm
The first photo is of the "Acrobats" mobile'. The second photo is another new one; red on one side, yellow on the other. The third photo is a small wire mobile' "Wire Man". 

Dragon head

Here's a photo of a work in progress: "Dragon head". Looking through my limited pile of scrap metal with which to work as I practice learning how to weld with my new welder, I came up with this idea. This is made, so far, with a one-foot long piece of T-stake (fencing stake) and some small pieces of scrap metal, which I have a small bucket full, left over from a metal shop (jaw and horn in this photo). I'm just making this up as I go. My wife thinks it would be a nice hood ornament for her "dragon truck", which she has painted with "dragon scales". I'll post more photos as this project progresses.
