Formed Patina Copper Leaf Pendant With Hook and Eye Clasp
The veins of the leaf were stamped into flat copper sheet. The sheet was then folded and cut out into a leaf shape. I then hand formed the edges to give the leaf character and drilled a hole to attach the pendant bail. I formed the bail from copper wire. The end hook and eye are made from copper tube and hand forged copper wire. The copper pieces were then covered in a salt solution and placed a sealed container with a little ammonia for three days. The dark patina with blue hi-lights is the result. All the copper was gently scrubbed with an old toothbrush and soap and water. The patina is sealed with three coats of Polycrylic. A slim leather cord completes the piece, with the ends glued into the tube ends. The pendant hangs about 1.625” long on an 18” cord, and is about 1.125” wide.
