Oooh...Someone has been using the knife and strainer I made to make lemonade!
These are some copper pans I made plus a rack. I am not sure I want to use the rack in my dollhouse, this is just a temporary set up. It will depend on how I design the kitchen. I have also been making some bigger covered pots and doing some Chasing and Repoussé on them. Long ago I saw some "real" size Italian kitchen copperware that had a lot of this kind of work on it. So I have a fish poaching pan that I have been working on that has a fish in relief on either side and sort of a tiered lid with a design on each of the three tiers graduating down in concentric ovals.
It is sort of funny that most of us want to see some age on our furniture, house, roof tops and so on but everyone wants their copper gleaming with a brilliant polish.
Fabulous workmanship. Your Copper work is beautiful. x
ReplyDeleteOoohhh...so beautiful! I can't wait to see your fish poaching pan.
ReplyDeletewhat a clever girl you are!!! very beautiful....
ReplyDeleteLove the copper work. Great die press forming. The handles are perfection.
ReplyDeleteCoastal living here means lots of polishing time. But I am too busy keeping the rust off of my tools to worry about having shiny copper in a house. I figure the fisherman who will live in my current dollhouse project has the same problem I do. My TV watching time last night was spent on rust removal from a steel square. That is my excuse for having dull copper and I am sticking to it.
Gosh, this is outstanding work. I love copper and this is just the best I've seen in mini size. :o)

Absolutely fantastic work, can't wait to see your fish-poaching pan!
ReplyDeletehow in the world did you make that?! amazing!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably detailed and realistic. I haven't seen anything like this and I'm sure you could make a fortune selling this - do you? If so, where?
ReplyDeleteCynthia
With each post you are showing us how wonderful your skills are. I am amazed by your copper pots...although I shouldn't be after seeing the wonderful kettles you make... but these items are brilliant.
ReplyDelete....Yes it is true, why do we all want our copper pots to shine??
You have a fabulous collection of miniatures.
Linda
More than beautiful, your work is collectible art.

Geneviève
Since I first encountered your blog, I heard there was something special: appeal to me like a magnet beautiful things and well done!
ReplyDeleteYour pots are so shiny and perfect that, if I look good, I see your reflection in the colander. But not only this: the whole scene is nice and clean, feel like lemonade.
You are very good :-)
Your copper work is brilliant,absolutely OOAK !!!Jeannette
ReplyDeleteWow.. what a brilliant miniature scene!!!! Like Flora says;so nice and clean...and so real looking! I can smell the limonade and the copper shine you must have used on those small wonder pans!!!! Amazing work!!!
ReplyDeleteBut I have fallen in love with some small items; the strainer and the pitcher! I would love to get hold of something similar; would you be able to tell me about them?
Synnøve x
SUPERBE !
ReplyDeleteIt´s tantastic work. I just adore the strainer! And I would also like to know, if you have an ETSY-shop or take commisions?
ReplyDeleteLove, Susanne
Thanks Everyone!
ReplyDeleteCynthia,
I am afraid I am not selling any of my miniature work right now. Thanks for asking!:-)
Synnove,
I made the strainer which I talked about in a post not long ago. Frank Whittemore made the glass for me and I made the pour spout for the pitcher. I'm glad you like them. :-)

Una verdera obra de arte, te han quedado genial!!!
ReplyDeletebesitos ascension
Flora,
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say the scene looks clean. When I went looking for something yellow to put in the pitcher (to look like lemonade), I looked under my "real kitchen cabinets and there it was a nice big bottle of (yellow) Mr. Clean. I sometimes use that to wash my kitchen floor.
Beautiful copperware!Wish I could make it myself! :)
ReplyDeleteCatherine, tell the truth: you just do this to make all of us non-metalsmiths jealous! LOL! I can't even tell you how beautiful your work is. Just amazing.
ReplyDeleteAnd on a personal note, my son can't join The Marines just now (doing the Happy Dance) and will have to wait until he graduates from college--oh, darn! I am still drinking a bit but now it's a celebration! LOL!
Jody

Oh Jody,
ReplyDeleteI know how relieved you have to be. If you lived closer... I would bring over a bottle of champagne and we could sit looking that that beautiful yard of yours and get snockered. ;-)
Flor,
