Ginko Leaf Ornament
Crafting my handmade Ginko leaf ornament is an intricate and creative process that begins with a simple sheet of copper. I hand-cut each maple leaf and the texture is brought to life through the rhythmic impact of a hammer, giving each leaf its own distinctive impression. The magic unfolds when I introduce the flame—using a torch, I apply heat to coax a range of colors from the metal. This flame-painted technique creates a dazzling palette of yellows, oranges, reds, and rustic tones, each ornament becoming a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. To preserve this unique beauty, I seal the ornaments with wax, which protects the patina and maintains the copper’s natural luster. Over time, the ornaments continue to evolve, adding character and depth as they interact with their environment.
