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. #ArtAdventCalendar #Bronze #GinkgoLeaf #GinkgoLeafArt #SmallSculpture #HandmadeInMichigan #Handmade #DecorativeArts #Ornament

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. #Bronze #ArtAdventCalendar #SecretSanta #GinkgoLeaf #GinkgoLeafArt #Sculpture #WallHanging

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. #SculptureSunday #Copper #Coppersmith #GinkgoLeaf #Ginkgo #GinkgoLeafArt #SmallSculpture #ArtAdventCalendar
