The Inspiration

Art Deco Theater Marquees & Pink Flamingos

The Space

Outdoors. Home's front patio entrance area. Originally an unfinished space. The Flamingo Marquee was installed just after the landscaping was completed.

The Copper

One interesting thing about this piece is that its tower & "wings" and mini deco flamingo heads (capping each of the verticle rope lights) are all one folded piece of 16 oz. sheet copper (the rope light "wells" are seperate pieces). The light box is one piece of sheet copper, folded and riveted. The Crown is also made of one folded piece of sheet copper... and it "bobs" when there's wind.
