Hammered Leaves

Made of 20 and 26-gauge solid-copper wire. The inside of the sculpture consists of the heavier wire for power. The outer levels are made using the thinner wire for a finer feel. The ends of each twig are hammered flat to make the leaves. This bit has started to patina creating a soft green colour. The foundation is an extremely hefty 8″x1.5″ strong clear-glass container. The sculpture is mounted to the foundation using a bonding agent combined with sea sand and modest pebbles. The sea sand and smaller pebbles are painted yellow, green and white and providing the impact of moss.
