Maybe not a thousand but at least 100. I had to of cut over 100 copper circles on Sunday and textured some cooper using a rolling mill. I think I've gotten quite good at cutting out circles now but at the end my arm got tired. Instead of 3 whacks it took me 6 whacks at the end to cut out a circle. It was time to stop. Anyway I've been trying to design some earrings that look like the Maori Koru Leaf. I found out that the Koru fern leaf is found in New Zealand and stands for new beginnings, growth, and harmony. Here are some of my drawings. I like the left middle drawing. How about you? I must admit that I don't draw circles very well. Since this is all new to me I decided to start off with copper and this is what I got. From left to right is my progression. I would like to get a more smooth rounded shape. I guess I'll just have to practice more. If anyone has any tips I would be grateful for them. ...
