On Sunday, the last day of the workshop, I showed the guys how to saw their own leaves out of copper and shape them into pendants. Man oh man, did they surprise me! They just whipped right through those pendants, getting anywhere from 2 to 4 gorgeous copper leaf pendants made. Take a look.

All in all, a fun workshop- 1/2 day of tooling, 1-1/2 day of forged leaves, and 1 day of sawn and hammered copper leaf jewelry.
These leaves are so cool.
ReplyDeleteThose tiny leaves are too sweet. I want to hang them from my ears. Or my rear view mirror. Or maybe they can do double duty and hang both places.
