Corn Flower


A detailed view of a small metal wall art accent, created for the face of a kitchen cabinet. Features a black and yellow crackle paint finish, which presents a rustic weathered appearance.
The photo above was taken on white background to isolate the shape and color.


The crackle finish looks pretty good against the natural grain of the wooden panel face. Titled "Corn Flower" for its' likeness of the corn shape, and the underlying yellow that escapes from the black top coat. Has a certain kitchen or pantry theme that matches well with culinary decor.

Old Iron


Take a look at this old iron object, created for a simple porch decoration. This one has a rustic weathered appearance, composed from recycled iron and brass materials. The green coloration is the patina on the surface of the brass scrollwork, the deep red and black is the heavy corrosion of the iron.


Not an extravagant example of metal wall art, but still fairly attractive. Sometimes these little accents can add charm to outside structures.

Fern Flower



A detail of a botanical metal wall art piece, fabricated from steel and brass elements create a colorful patina finish. The rusty vine, which sprouts its' way up the center of this one adds a curvy highlight.


A shapely design, appears more organic when not framed with a border. The large leafwork protruding from the left and right, have engraved veins inlaid with black, adding some light definition.

Above The Door Metal Wall Grille


This image above is a center view of an ornamental piece, created for a kitchen doorway accent.
Has a nice floral design, with a natural finish, you can still see the gray mill scale that was ingrained at the steel mill. The scroll and leaf work add a little delicacy to this one.


Here is the overall view, the flower ornaments offer a silhouetted pattern which let the wall color highlight the metal work.
