I received a beautiful surprise in my inbox yesterday: a customer had purchased my “Black and White Newfoundland Dog” photograph and framed it to hang in their living room. He took the time to send me a thank you and these appreciation pictures! I must say my handsome puppy looks beautiful in this room!

Metal Forming White Oak Leaf Pendant
This project is coming along wonderfully! Overall I really love the Oak leaf so far!
It still needs a few finishing touches such as rounding out the tips and a couple of
inside corners before adding the enamel finish.
I will soon be starting the copper Acorn dangle.
Factoid, White Oak: The White Oak tree is a large tree than can reach up to 100 feet tall.
The trunk can span up to 4-feet across.

Copper Oak Leaf Pendant Progress
Another custom Oak leaf pendant in progress! This one is a copper leaf
overlay on sterling silver plate. I just added a bit of texture to
give the leaf a bit of depth. I still have lots of work to do on
the pendant, but so far I'm quite happy with how it's looking.
I hope the customer will like it as well...
This is what is left to do:
* make a bail and solder it to the sterling silver plate;
*sweat solder the copper leaf to the plate;
*make a bezel, solder it to plate;
*prepare the stone (which will be super special with an awesome little story attached).
Stay tuned for the end results!!

Oak Leaf Pendant in Progress
I am working on another custom order necklace: Oak leaf pendant on chain.
I made a template of a leaf, traced it on copper sheet and cut it out, sanded and shaped it.
I love the look of the leaf as it is (the finish I mean). I achieved this by annealing and lightly sanding the leaf. Unfortunately, I will not be keeping the look for this project. We're going for something much cleaner and shinier. You'll need to stay tuned for the end results!
After doing all of this work, I realized I had to make the smaller version of the leaf... and I needed to cut down the size. Not a big deal, but it gave me a bit more work.
I'll have to post the smaller leaf so you can see the new, smaller version.
Happy Crafting all!
