First off, I hope I don't get frowned upon for trying to promote a small business on here, especially for not being a vendor. Anyways, I've posted a topic about my steel roses that I started on earlier this spring and wanted to share the little side project that I've got going for myself that has quickly turned into a little business for myself.

These roses I work on in my spare time and I try to do my best on keeping on top of these things especially since my main occupation is farming and ranching. I've sold and shipped numerous flowers across the country so far. I got both Facebook and Instagram pages and ask people to go check them out and give me a follow.

The roses I build out of 20 gauge sheet metal. The heads I bend and form and a simple length of barb wire gets welded on and the head of the rose receives a coat of painting.

I can do pretty much most colors, or any color that person wants. Which would require custom paint mixed of course. All my colors can be seen on either my FB or IG pages. Anyways here's some samples of my work...

I removed the picture of my business card. I don't intend or mean to conduct business through the forum; I just wanted to share my work.

Those are cool! I wouldn't think the venders here would have a problem with you and your roses it's not like you're competitive with them. In fact men with happy a women at home can buy more parts for thier duramaxes LOL:thumb:

Thanks for the comments guys. For those who have Facebook, give me a follow because I'm nearing my 200th flower made and plan on doing a giveaway when the time comes.

Haha that's great!
Do you have any access to core10?
I guess I don't know what core10 is.

Core10 is a steel that's supposed to rust to a certain point and then it stops rusting so it doesn't rust all the way through.

Oh OK I understand. I never knew of such a thing. I've done some surface rust ones that I dipped the head into some salt water. Then I've done surface rust and dusted them with either red, pink, or yellow.
