Coppery CrawliesCaptivated by copper’s warm, autumnal color and its malleable qualities, Catherine Murphy and her team have transformed this ubiquitous metal–used to create American’s smallest coinage, the penny–into one-of-a-kind artworks. Using a hammer, vise, anvil, and oxy-acetylene torch, they fold, forge, and anneal copper transforming it into a three-dimensional interpretation of a playful praying mantis. Propped on an extra tall garden stake, this rare critter will be easy to spot as he peers over your yard or garden, greeting visitors with his enchanting, hand-crafted character. Handmade in North Carolina.
