Leaf: Maple

Hand cut from sheet steel using tin snips I then hammer veins into the leaf with a chisel, melt around the edge with my welding torch which creates the lovely rainbow of colours in the metal before varnishing.

The ladybird is made from a blob of weld which I paint, I like to place the bug in different positions on each leaf. Please let me know when you order if you want a ladybird added to your leaf or not.
