I want to get some copper to make some roses, I think it will be a good piece to make forsome practice but I seriously can't find any locally without spending hundreds of dollars.

The local home depots don't have flashing. And all the rain gutter places won't sell thier scraps. The metal supply has sheets that are approximately 4 x 8 but are $300.

I just want enough to make 2-4 flowers. Any other ideas, or is there anyone willing to sell me some extra of what they have?

Thanks in advance!

Mike, I recently purchased some from Basic Copper, 1809 West Main St.,
Carbondale, IL 62901. They have a good variety of gauges, 1 ft.
wide, whatever length you need. They are on-line. Service/shipping
is reasonable.
