Upcycled horseshoes make this adorable flower that sits on a t post (t post not included).  The blue is a lighter blue, almost a periwinkle and very calming.  Our metal art starts with upcycled horseshoes, they are cleaned to get a good weld and once welded, travel to our paint booth where they get 2 coats of auto primer, 2 coats of color that also has primer in it and then sealed with 2-3 coats of clear.  Do all the layers of paint stop the rust, NO, but it does delay it a bit. How much it rusts will depend on your location and environment.  We live at the beach so everything rusts!  The flower measures approximately 17" wide x 18" tall x 1 1/2" wide with a 7" center and 1 1/2" inside measurement for the square tube that fits on the T post.  USPS Ground Advantage.  This is a one of a kind, handmade item from recycled material and by nature will have some imperfections.
