Where can I find copper roses?

Question

For those that have been to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, one of the hot gifts they sell are copper roses, unfortunately due to my new location and job, i can't exactly wander down there and buy them, and i can't find them online at all, any thoughts? Googled like crazy still no results

Answer 1

actually, if you have some metal working skills, they are not that difficult to make. This here gives you some instructions. Forget about the stem, just use some thick wire. If you use copper sheet, you just need to cut them out (which will be the main work), use a ball peen hammer to shape them, layer them and stick them together.

If you want to really have some fun with them, put some enamel on them (true enamel, not the paint)

Answer 2

Ask them

I didn't quickly find a list of venders, but most of these Faires have them in their program and, especially if you can locate them on the map, the company should be able to give you a name address and/or phone.
