Ted Elder, a lifetime Artisan in many different  
 media, has been making marine sculptures for several
 years. In 2006 Ted started using highly corrosion resistant
 304 Stainless Steel on many of his sculptures. Stainless 
 is hard to work and sharp, but the result is well worth the 
 effort (and the blood). It brings a realism to silver and 
 white fish that cannot be matched in copper. As far as we
 know, he is the only Artisan doing this type of work with
 this unyielding metal. These sculptures are particularly
 suited for the outdoors but are beautiful indoors as well.
   Most Artists in sheet copper anneal it to make it softer
 (also brown), but Ted prefers to keep it bright which
 allows for vivid colors, which are brought out with heat
 slowly after the piece is done. Copper will tarnish within
                                                                                 a year outdoors. It will take several years for significant 
                                                                                 tarnish indoors.
