OK - thanks for that. I had got most of the way down that road but when I tried to preview all I saw was a message saying 'attachment' and no image so here goes.
This is a flowering cactus, Epiphyllum Oxypetalum, in marine grade alloy.

Above is the finished composition. It was made in five pieces that all pin into a wall bracket that is invisible once the piece is assembled. Next it was powder coated, the flower and stem in satin white and the leaves in grass green.

This is the completed sculpture. The colours have been given depth and life using acrylics as the powder is very two-dimensional.
Let's see if that uploads properly and thanks for the tips. Seems like a friendly place in here.
