Zinnias
This beautiful zinnia sculpture is wonderful for indoor or outdoor display! The flower heads are cut, painted, then assembled in layers and screwed together with the center cap onto a machined stem. This type of assembly allows for better paint coverage so there is less rust staining from hard-to-reach spaces in the the many petal layers. The stems and leaves are painted also, and welded to a raw steel base. (Upon request, the base can be clear-coated or a piece of felt can be added underneath to protect indoor surfaces.)

Overall height: approximately 19.5" (shortest flower is about 15" tall)
Flower head diameter: 2.75"
Stem diameter: 3/16" round rod
Base: 1/4" thick steel, 6.5" diameter
Overall width: approximately 9-10"
