The Simple Elegance of
water flowing across natural elements such as this beautiful
copper and driftwood.
An exquisite six tier copper
water fountain custom designed for outdoor garden placement on
the ground.
The water flow is perfectly
balanced between each of the colorful copper pooling leaves and
reservoir to bring forth the harmonious sights and sounds of
nature.

Vines filled with vestige
leaves twist and turn around natural driftwood. This piece has
three separate elements of driftwood all combined together to
create one synchronized wooden structure.
The driftwood has been
sanded smooth to bring out the wonderful turning grains and color
variations within the wood. We then seal it all with fine oils
for a protected finish.
We find our driftwood washed
up onto ocean beaches and in the remnants of clear cut forests
from the last remaining Rain Forest in North America.

Each petal and the copper
reservoir are all hand hammered with a dramatically unique three
dimensional texture. Each one different from the rest.
The entrance of water into
the fountain is calmed by the placement of another leaf over
the top. This creates a pooling of the water and a gentle, unrushed
water flow from the top of the fountain.
All the copper elements
are hand cut and hand hammered with each vine, petal, leaf, stem
and accent separately brazed into place one at a time.

 |
 |
Various heat concentrations
create amber, gold, blue, pink and purple tones on the natural
copper.
Custom patina applications
are applied to create the vast color blue, green and gold differences
in the vines, leaves and accents. All of these colors will continue
to evolve and change with time. A work of art forever painting
itself.
Great time and consideration
is taken in creating different water flow sounds from each water
petal. As in an orchestra, each piece playing its part to create
a lovely melody together.

This fountain is accented
with two copper iris, a favorite flower of the commissioning
patron. Both hammered and heat treated for great three dimensional
depth of presence.
The bright colorful foliage
surrounding the iris adds growing life to the side of the fountain
devoid of water.
This brings the piece together
in a flawless symmetry.
Flowers are mounted separately
for ease of movement and shipping considerations.

A three gallon water reservoir
was designed for simple immersion under the ground at the base
of the fountain. Holding the pump within and attached with brass
fittings and poly tubing for ease of installation. |

Copper
fountains are beautiful in their color tones and will not grow algae.
Bring the natural calming
effects of nature into any area of your home with a unique combination
of water, fire, metal and wood.
A custom copper water fountain
with wood from the Olympic Mountain Rain Forest created by Raven
Arts.
Each work of art is uniquely
original with the design being defined by the symmetry of the
driftwood.
