Back to a bit of production but also peace

My art over the last few weeks has been about commissions ;and Fiona and I doing a couple pieces together.

But I got the word from Maleny Additions that a bit more stock was required. So I decided to use today to make Leaf Pate Knives; but because there was spare shorter pieces of metal left over from cutting up a very large tray I decided to make a stash of peace words leaves to give away from time to time.

Blanks for leaves with words stamped.

The peace leaves were to be about 12cm long; and the Leaf Pate Knives about 17cm long.

Stash of pate knives and leaves cut folded and marked ready for second cutting.
