Isn't this gingerbread fella cute? He started as a soft piece of wood, but I carefully electroformed him, giving him a sturdy copper setting with funky texture. Antiqued for contrast. His coloring looks even more beautiful and bold in person! 

Topped off with rich pinky-red dyed agate, and sparkly glass beads. It's sturdy, but please always use care when hanging this in your car, or when you go to store it at the end of the season.

🍄 HOW IT'S MADE: there are many layers of prep I do before electroforming a handmade piece. Once ready, it sits in my electro-tank for 14–40 hours, depending on its size and copper needs. The copper collects molecule by molecule, creating strength and unique texture.

I rapidly oxidized the metal slightly, then coated it with a very thin layer of jewelry lacquer to help preserve the patina. This coating naturally wears off over time.
Copper never rusts—when it encounters moisture, it protects itself by creating a living patina. The oxidized layer is surface only; the metal can always be polished if you prefer it brighter.

🍄 I include a small polishing cloth sample with every order + simple care instructions—like keeping the piece dry, and storing it in a small plastic baggy, with padding around it before putting it away for next year. Copper may change color slightly with time, which adds to its unique charm. you can always use polishing cloth if you want to brighten the metal in areas to make it lighter.
