    On post number 34 I gave the link to the kit to make them linda. It is very easy to heat them into shape. I just used a ceramic bowl upside down and shaped it to that somewhat. The trick is to find one with a little depth and the right size for the middle of the leaf. The stiffener holds the shape after it cools very well.

    I used these colors because I love the way copper changes into this color when it oxidizes. Since I love metal art, I tried this to see how it played out. I am happy with it and it matches my décor in the living room.

    No I am not good a tut's dotty. But, they are not hard at all. Just have to be patient when stitching on that heavy sandwich of materials. A heavy weight needle in your machine is a must!
