A good day in the workshop working on melting, moulding and stamping metal - hearts and stars; and making leaf butter knives.
Opening photo shows a stash of stamped hearts that will be gifted to those you need them. The hearts are stamped with: go gently, hope, love and care.
Following are some stars that will also be gifted to remind each of us that in our own way we are stars.
When I was sorting metal to melt I came across a bunch of larger brass and copper hearts - I gave them a polish as you can see below. They will probably make their way to Scotland and be offered for sale as paperweights.
A couple of other melted metal images follow.
For the Pop Up Art Show I wanted to make some leaf butter knives from salvaged silver-plated brass. In the past I called these leaf forms-objects pate knives - but in reality they have many uses - including spreading butter, cutting soft cheese, spreading pate, spreading jam. I made five as you can see from the photo below.
A couple of process photos follow.
So all in all a good use of time - good outcomes.
