"As One" ... fused copper and aluminium bronze

"... stylish, elegant, and bespoke metalwork ..."

Made to Commission

David Hyde made this heart sculpture by fusing two very different metals together as a deeply symbolic Valentines Day present. The golden aluminium-bronze contrasts wonderfully with the copper, but the polished metals also compliment each other. David took special care to ensure the transition between the metals was a gradual and subtle blend.

This blog page gives some insights into how the heart was made ... and it also shows a very special hidden message inside the heart. A video of it being made can be seen on David's Instagram: @theblacksmithsgarden.

The last picture also shows a pair of Kintsugi inspired "healed broken hearts" made with copper, bronze, aluminium-bronze and stainless steel. More pictures of these hearts can be seen on this page and a video them being made can also be seen on David's Instagram: @theblacksmithsgarden.
