Copper water fountains

I came across these wonderful fountains by Steve Rayman. He is a copper artist who has been building copper fountains since 1993. Here is a taste of his site, and a link at the bottom.
You'll see nothing like his work anywhere else in the country--or in the world. Steve Rayman has mastered creating copper sculptures evolving from basic geometric shapes and has added water sheeting down as an element of movement.
The look, the sound, the drama is unique.

Each of Steve's sculptures is individually created of hand-hammered copper, with an acid wash applied to produce the verdigris patina.


The added surprise with his fountain sculptures: the top forms a shallow pool that attracts birds of all sizes to drink and bathe--another element of movement added to your setting
