Ian has constructed this lifelike weta from hand beaten copper and old copper coins. Have a close look at the detail and you'll see the years marked on the coins.
A perfect gift for the insect lover in your life! The weta can be hung on the wall or placed on a display shelf.
Ian, who is based in Hokitika, is a true craftsman, making sculpture by bending, beating and burning copper. He uses controlled heat patina that brings out rainbow colours in the metal by heating and cooling it to different temperatures.
