After plowing through the snow on the trail to give Oz his run I settled at my bench and got into my metal, experimenting with shape & texture. I hand cut the shapes (not the washers), used my new hammer and coated the copper to prevent tarnish. I call them "Grass" as this is what pattern reminds me of. I think next it is time to make soup and then a trek on the trails with the snow shoes so the trails are easier to walk.
