I've got 3 more forged bronze leaf pendants done and finally listed in my Etsy shop at etsy.com/shop/KSkilesStudio. I've got six days off coming up so it's a great time for a commission. Contact email is in my profile. I can also sell via paypal, venmo, cash app, or even mailed checks.

Here is the 3rd of 3 ornaments that I sent out as a Christmas gift. This one is made up of two bronze ginkgo leaves with their stems wrapped together to make the loop. I saw the shapes, hammer them, then solder them into their final form. For a finish, I use wire wheels to burnish. I also made a little bronze hook for hanging.

day 16 Here's a pair of copper ginkgo leaf earrings, a design that I make on a regular basis and often on commission in other metals.

day 11 - I finished a bronze ginkgo leaf ornament to add to a family holiday gift shipment. I've run out of money to buy presents, so I hope they appreciate more handmade leaves.

For Art Advent Calendar day 10 (and for a Secret Santa Exchange) I finished 2 bronze gingko leaves. These can be used as ornaments, sculptures, or wallhangings. The Secret Santa shipping deadline is today, and I made it! One photo shows an in progress shot.

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.
