- A very basic fold form leaf. Easy to include in more elaborate wire wrap or metal projects, and pretty enough to be used alone.

Thank you so much again Nicole, you are one of the most generous people I know with you knowledge! I so appreciate it!
Wow, you are an incredible artist. It’s amazing what you did using simple tools. There are a lot of fold forming videos out there but most of them use major metal working machines with fancy tooling.
You’re a legend! I loved this video, thanks so much ❤️
love these live tutorials, nice to see how you manouvre the metal with your tools. Will have to have a goo at this at some point xx
So simple, yet so beautiful. Thank you.
Beautiful! Thank You, love leaf jewelery☆
wow! i love this! thanks for such an easy and straightforward tutorial :)
Absolutely beautiful, thanks for the tips.
so glad your back! I anneal my metal n it's not bad, actually much easier. also I use a chisel to hammer n it puts in good lines n does a little tear on the edges if you want. I missed your videos, you are so inspiring! I love your work. thank you!!!
Thank you so much for sharing!! Definitely going to give it a try. 👍🏼
Thank you. I've been wanting to thy this.
Great video! Very "down home" style. Nice to hear someone creating without $100,000 worth of tools. One pair of pliers...$79. I can't afford that. Keep up the great work! Thanks💕
always wondered how are they done. thank you for sharing
I just love your weaving techniques. Will you be doing a part 2 to the form fold leaf. Would love to see a video on how you incorporate the weaving with the metal forming. Thanks for sharing :)
You are an amazing teacher! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work.
I see you do have a dragonfly tutorial on your website, but it is a simpler design than another dragonfly you made that I found where the body is also a weave. Any possibility of this particular design of the dragonfly making it into a tutorial for purchase?
It was a tutorial, but has already been retired as a limited edition lesson. I do retire tutorials regularly, so if you see anything you like, it's always good to snag it as soon as possible. Some tutorials might be re-introduced during my 20k likes Facebook giveaway, whenever I reach it.
Love it😊💕
Thanks so much for this! I was trying to figure out how to make small (less than 1 inch) leaves without machinery.
Thank you for this, I have always wanted to have a go but the sheet I bought was just too hard (0.5mm) & was the only type I could find. Now I know what thickness I googled it & found lots of suppliers so I am going to finally get to have a go at this. Again, thank you so much.
Mui bonito trabajo Bravo
Hello, your tutorials are fantastic and such beautiful work. Do you have a tutorial that shows how to attach wire work to the copper leaves? Thank-you so very much
Pretty 😊
Hi Nicole, Love the tutorial and the finished product. Can you tell me where you but your sheet metal from and is it half hard or soft, or does it not matter. Thank you for beign so giving with your time and skills. Love, love love your work.
Copper hardens as you hammer it so heating and annealing it IS necessary for extended hammering or it probably will crack. Just for future reference.
Did this piece crack? No. It did not crack.
The final and perfect result of this artists work demonstrates that whilst annealing can be applied. In this case it was not necessary. Thereby making it perfectly clear to the whole You Tube Community that you are a complete dummy.
@@olddanb1 It didn't crack because she barely hammered the fold. If it had truly been hammered flat and closed, it would crack while she tried to open it unless it were annealed before opening. Calling names just makes you look rude. Their comment was absolutely correct. This artist is extremely talented, but this is lightweight metal forming that isn't hammer intensive and thus didn't make the copper brittle. A traditionally fold-formed piece requires annealing and several rounds of hammering, on both the fold and the outer edges of the leaf, and the hammer actually creates the ruffles by stretching and spreading the metal on the edges.
Where do you get the sheet metal and the tools you use?
did you cut yourself? Thanks so much for sharing and show us
I did! lol Important to note that you should probably wear gloves if you are as much in a hurry as me. The metal can be very sharp.
Peace be upon you how to make copper color Black
3:25 or do that iff You want to make Your own design patterns on hammer for paterning metal then
FYI: In general, you ought to be very careful to keep any files, and other such tools AWAY FROM the working face of any planishing hammers, or other tools that will be in direct contact with your finished, (or nearkly finished), pieces/work. [ as you pointed out at about 3:15]....
That was a hard (and expensive) lesson to learn when I first bought my hammers!
