An acquaintance who is not an artist or a Crafter wanted to watch me work, just to hang out and chat and watch me work. I thought it would be weird but it turned out to be fun and got me down in the studio making art.

Maple leaf jewelry that I finished over the weekend. The three pieces on the left are already sold and shipped out. I'll probably get the other one online in a few days.

For day 20, I'm posting ornament 2 of 3 (from the ones I shipped out yesterday.) This one has 3 bronze ivy style leaves with stems that vine together, and a matching hammered bronze hook. It's about 5 inches long.

Day 13 - I made a bronze willow leaf ornament as a gift for my son and daughter-in-law because they told me that the willow was their favorite tree. I will accept for similar work.

Art Advent Calendar Day 4. I made these copper ginkgo leaf wallpieces in 2001 and I've been making them ever since. They range from 4 to 9 inches, depending on what the client wants or what I feel like working on.

These are bronze oak leaf cupboard knobs that I made in 2000 for a rich woman's home. She was very old, wealthy, and always supported local craftspeople and artists with her home builds. #2000

These are leaves that I forged in August, for a commission. They were given as awards by a nonprofit in the southern USA.
