GutterCherry:

I made this mirror from what I think was a homemade chimney cover.  It was covered in soot when I got it.  My intention was to clean it up and then powder coat it a nice lime green or red. However, after I cleaned it the natural metal and remaining paint was too cool to cover. So, I rubbed it with furniture wax and buffed it up to bring out the patina.  I then added the mirror to the back and hung a glass rod from an old chandelier.  I originally wanted to cut the mirror round to fit the protruding hole.  It was then I realized someone fabricated it because it isn’t perfectly round and I noticed the welds were not manufactured (these days I can tell my fellow welders techniques from machines). All together I think it looks rather Asian inspired.

PS. It was hard to get a good picture of the scale, and since I curled my hair this morning I thought my head would put it into perspective better (big as it is).
