Trout Lily Leaf earrings copper with brass plating

Description

Hand-made etched one-of-a-kind copper earrings of Trout Lily leaves. Trout lilies grow in both birch and maple woods. Their beautiful variegated foliage appears in early spring and dies back in summer. I started by drawing a trout lily leaf, then etched the design onto sheet copper, cut the pieces out with a jeweller's saw, drilled holes, finished the leaves, and made the wires.
