Description

Autumn leaf wall art or wall hanging made from enamel on copper and framed with a watercolour background.

I made the leaf by cutting a leaf shape out of sheet copper, based on a maple leaf because I think it’s a nice shape.  I enamelled the leaf in yellow vitreous enamel in my kiln.  For the final firing, I used red enamel and scratched away to the yellow to give veins.  Also for the last firing, I gave the leaf longer in the kiln (overfiring).  This gave it dark and yellow dots, plus a dark outer edge.  I think this makes it look more autumnal and more interesting.  I mounted the leaf with a yellow watercolour background.

The frame is 25cm by 30cm and a pale oak colour.  There is no glass in the frame.  I do this partly because I think it’s better to see the enamelling, but also because the copper sags a little in the kiln.  The leaf itself is about 10cm wide and 8.5cm tall.

Every item I make is unique.  If you want a variation to this item, please get in touch because I can do custom orders.  Also, please get in touch if you would like more information.
