Additional information: This stunning piece of artwork was created from hand cut layered copper. At a 9x24 inches, it makes a sophisticated statement. The background was etched using Japanese maple leaves. The branch was cut in sections to add depth, and given a heat patina to create the beautiful earthy coppery colors. (Want to see this piece in progress? Check out my blog: http://copperleafstudios.net/blog/?p=1009 ) The copper surface has been sealed, and the entire piece is mounted on a finished block of wood. There is a D-ring hanger for simple, precise hanging from a single screw.
