Copper Leaf Pendant

This pendant is cut from the same piece of copper pipe as my Copper Rocket Pendant.

I first embossed the lines by laying a needle over the copper and hammering it. I then cut it out and soldered a strip of copper on the back. I looped the stem for the jump ring. There is no coating on it.

Thank you for this. I am a newbie to copper/jewelery making, this helped me very!

I'm making this for my girlfriend to give to her on Valentin's day. I've got it all figured out save for how to make the stem / jump ring. Any tips?

Have you seen this homage?

[Mrballeng]

I think he did a great job. I'm glad he tried his hand at it.

could you possibly post a picture of how you embossed it? its just kinda confusing me hahaha. it doesnt have to be on this specific project just on like a peice of scrap metal. would really apprechiate it! thxx:)

Check out my basketball tie tack or embossed keychain monster. I used the same method there.

Amazing how you made you stuff with metal. I just started to learn how to create metal jewelry, and I love to try to match stuff like yours.

Could you do the same thing with some silver and a paperclip?

[Pwag]

If your going to use super spendy silver why not spring for the silver wire too? Go the whole nine yards.

[Mrballeng]

I've never worked with silver but I bet it would work just fine.

Awesome~
how thick was the copper pipe?

[Mrballeng]

I'm not sure exactly but I would compare it to the thickness of a quarter.

Ooh thanks
