Starry, starry night

This piece includes etched bronze and copper tubing. I drew the image onto the bronze and etched it in a light acid bath. Then encased it in silver and soldered it in place. The side bails are copper tubing. The sun and flames were inspired by one of my favorite paintings "Starry Night" by Van Gogh.
