Pomegranates

Maybe, I spend too much time volunteering for the non-profit, Pomegranate Center since the first thing I design out of metal in months is a Pomegranate!  I had fun with the plasma cutter. I experimented with two techniques for cutting out those shapes.  The smaller of the two was all freehand.  The large one, I used a guide that attaches to the plasma torch end, and uses a magnet (or suction cups) to adhere to the material as you draw a circle while cutting.  I liked the accuracy using the guide, over free hand.  Any thoughts from my readers as to which one looks more attractive?  I painted the outlines of the image, and delivered them to their staff this weekend.  The pomegranate will be mounted on their gazebo roof.
