instructions

1. Brooch - 1. Attach a large leaf template and pierce out from copper sheet. File the edges smooth using a needle file and emery paper.
   
   2. Mark out a point at the bottom of the leaf, make an indent with a punch and hammer, then drill a hole. Place the leaf onto an enamelling stilt and sprinkle old rose enamel evenly over the leaf. Scatter dark red enamel over a small portion of the leaf.
   
   3. Place the leaf in the enamelling stove, and heat as before. Leave it to cool down completely, then glue a brooch pin to the back of the leaf with epoxy resin. Thread a pearl onto a head pin and suspend from the leaf using a 6mm jump ring.
   

2. Make it yours - Create a matching bracelet using two fired copper leaves and one metal clay leaf. Connect with 6mm jump rings and hang a pearl from the central leaf.
