winter walk, ivy leaf, copper

Description

Ivy: symbol of resurrection, strength, protection and fertility
As I was walking through the park this morning some interesting leaves caught my eye. I liked them so much I gathered samples. As it is winter now all the lovely oak and maple leaves have fallen. I was delighted to discover the green ivy all around. Each leaf in this series was inspired by those leaves and sketched freehand on to the metal. No two will be the same ever! After cutting the shape out I lightly curved it and added texture with my hammer.
This leaf is cut from copper. With time it will oxidize to a lovely dark color, however a quick polish with a polishing cloth will bring it back to the bright color. It is finished it with a bright satin polish.
I have put it on a sterling silver chain.
Chain is 16" long.
Leaf is 1 1/2" by 1". (35mm by 25mm)
