Fun in the Studio

I had fun in the studio today and thought I'd post the fruit of my efforts. It's so much fun working with sheet metal, especially copper. For one thing, there are no worries about the cost because copper is a very inexpensive metal to work with—at least compared to silver. And it's available in so many different gauges, you're sure to find something that you enjoy handling.
I especially enjoyed designing a freeform flower (don't ask me which species it is, as I have no idea!), sawing it out, and making it come to life with lots of hammering and texturing. Using one of my favorite vintage metal buttons in the design was also a treat. I hope you had fun in your studio today... I sure did!
Happy wrapping,
