It was a bit of a rush job - but I managed to cut, stamp, form, grind and polish 8 pair of small leaves (25mm -60mm) for 8 pair of earrings. Four pair of love and four pair of joy - although they could be mixed.
The 16 leaves are in the opening photo - still need to be given a twist and earwigs added. Process photos follow. The metal was cut from two good quality Strachan drink coasters. The strips of metal were about 8-10mm wide.
Making tiny leaves has the added challenge of being a bit hard to hold when cutting and grinding-polishing. These earrings are destined for Scotland. The finished earrings will be shiny, light and strong.
