On some we loosely followed the leaf edge and those needed touched up a bit to make the edges look nice. Ric took his grinder and metal file to them. We did two where we just made a shape and put the leave in the middle those look just fine you can see the leaf imprint in the bowl. So I figured out that I either have to follow the leaf edge very closely or just make a shape and put the leaf impression in it no in between. Here are pics of several finished ones you can see the difference between the worked and unworked edges. Next I will have to figure out how to paint them. They aren't near as heavy as I thought they might be so I should be able to bring each one inside to paint. |
