Selling metal art sculpture and other sculptures in the Weaverville, Trinity County California area. Beautiful sexy elegant art includes dragonflies, fairies and green men.

First inspired by a piece of chain from our local sawmill, the segmented piece of chain reminded me of a scorpion or dragonfly tail section. From there the project progressed when I found a pair of old hedge trimmers that were suited perfectly for pincher's. Out of this the scorpion was born. The final touch was when Mike Hopko, of Soul Glass, created a custom hand blown glass stinger colored in red, green and clear.

The scorpion has had various meanings and representations in different cultures in history.

In Mesopotamia, Gilgamesh for example approaches mountains where scorpion folk guard the entrance. Additionally, the Akkadians called the constellation Scorpio, Girtab, meaning the Seizer, or Stinger and "Place Where One Bows Down".

In Egyptian mythology, the scorpion stands for Set, the Trickster and brother of Nephthys, nemesis and opponent of Osiris, and Isis.

The Falaknuma palace of Hyderabad, India, is laid out in the shape of a scorpion with two stingers spreading out as wings to the north.

As you can see, scorpion's hold an appeal to a very wide range of people.
