October Theme Competition

[Georgia]

Here is my Autumn Leaf Brooch, pierced from.7mm copper sheet, textured with nylon fabric. The pattern was taken from a fallen leaf and the image reduced to size on a photocopier. The veins were added by lightly rolling with binding wire in a paper wrapper and the colours added by flaming with a mini torch.

Dennis.

Congratulations Dennis you are this months winner!

Here are a few words from our artist in residence...

My absolute apologies for making you wait. Thank you for your kind comments I am feeling much better now!

After some careful thought I have chosen the copper leaf brooch as this month’s winner because of the beautiful patina that has been created on the surface of the leaf and how life like the leaf looks. It really reminds me of beautiful autumn mornings when you can see the changes of colour happening through the leaves with the beautiful reds, yellows and oranges. The technical details of the brooch fitting have also been carefully made and well hidden from the front view.

I would also like to say that this was again a very difficult decision as there were many high standard pieces of work.

Thanks Georgia,
You didn't need to be so cryptic though - I found the information on the main site: http://www.cooksongold.com/home/stat...rend-halloween (inter alia).

Many years might be stretching a point a little though....
