The great thing about commissions?  Sometimes you’re asked to create something you wouldn’t ordinarily have thought to make.  In this case, the collector asked that some of the variegated copper leaf be applied to the front of the piece.  I would not have thought to do this, but I rather like how it turned out.  Final dimensions, 20″ tall x 10″ wide.
