Tree of Life

Leaves are everywhere around here in the shop this week. I have been doing about 20 at a time. Will take approximately 125 to cover the metal tree I have designed. I am excited to see it finished but there is so much hammering that goes into these tiny little things that it is going to try my patience. My arms can’t do everything I want them to do. :) I’ll keep sharing as I get more done. Can’t wait to show you the finished results!

“LUCKY” The Octopus

This is the second hammered octopus I have made. I think I love this one even more than the first. It has a pot o’copper, a four leaf clover heart lock/key, and a lucky horseshoe. It was about 3ft by 3ft. I love all the amazing colors in it. This is the natural patina. This was made from an old copper gutter that had been in the weather for years. I love love how it all came together.

The Moon has many charms!

There is just something about the Moon. Luna is a very beguiling creature. Pulls and pushes you, makes you come out into the dark just so you can turn your face to her light. I love the Moon especially when it is full. We use our telescope to take pictures of it and every now and then I get blessed with a good one.

Loving the Moon the way I do, I play with it in my jewelry quite a bit. I’ve made numerous necklaces and earrings with they symbol of the Moon as the main feature. This week I created a matching necklace and earrings that to this day are my absolute favorites. I listed them in the Etsy shop….but I am not sure I want to sell them lol. https://www.etsy.com/listing/150448720/copper-moon-copper-luna-dangle-earrings?ref=v1_other_1
