Hammered Copper Patina Accents for your Kitchen

A client recently asked me to create a patina on some hammered copper panels for her kitchen. She wanted to install them on the base of her kitchen island. It was my 1st time working with hammered copper and I love the look that I was able to achieve on the patina. She asked me to keep the patina subtle which was a little challenging for me. lol. I tend to reach for the bolder, richer colors but I was able to stay subtle and created a look that pulled all of her kitchen colors together. The subtle patina was perfect!

It won’t be my last time working with a patina on hammered copper. I can see me using this copper for all kinds of kitchen applications, ie the kitchen island panels, panels for kitchen cabinets, backsplashes and island tops with an epoxy pour over it. I can’t wait to work on some new pieces!

Copper Patina Large Bird Art

A gentleman from Maui contacted me about doing a 3’x4’ copper mural of his roosters. I had never done feathered friends before but found the idea very interesting and I am always up for a copper challenge. Commission works offers me a wonderful chance to think outside of my box. Thankfully people are willing to give me that opportunity. :-)

What I came to realize is, copper patina makes gorgeous feathers. The colors are so stunning. The other dilemma, I will call it, is how to make the feathers lay flat. I finally decided to do an epoxy pour on it in order to cover the feathers. It took 2 pours but ended up solving my dilemma and the entire piece of copper wall art of the roosters, turned out beautifully. Can’t wait to see a pic from the client once he hangs it.

This piece inspired me to begin a series on tropical and colorful copper patina birds. Working now on a blue and yellow McCaw. The feathers are tedious but so worth the extra time in the end.

5th + Broadway

So thrilled to have been a part of this new Enertainment Complex, 5th & Broaday opening in Nashville today. The client needed some Copper Patina Murals for a window display. I created 4 large 10’ murals to hang from the ceiling to be the set backdrop for the Country & Western themed window. It is Nashville, right?! The copper added a very classy and hi-end look to the retail window space.

Copper Murals can be used to create backdrops for TV sets, Retail Window Displays, Exhibit Booths, Retail walls, Restaurant walls, shopping complexes, Stage backdrops, etc. Copper is a beautiful natural element and a one of a kind patina can make the backdrop a beautiful accent wall. These were hung directly from the ceiling and they can also be applied directly to a wall or set backdrop.

Get creative with a copper patina look for your next set backdrop or window display!

Sunsets & Copper

Almost everyday I can be found somewhere, hunting down a sunset. There is something so spiritual with what happens to the sky as the sun is going down. It reminds me of my copper patina pieces. When I patina the copper, I let the copper patina unfold based on what the piece seems to be feeling. It’s like it has it’s own story to tell, just like a sunset. Whatever emerges, is a unique spiritually created piece of art. Regardless of where and how the piece is displayed ie, copper bar top, copper wall art, copper planter boxes/vases, copper commission pieces, etc- each piece is as unique and spiritually created as each sunset. The colors are so similar in the copper and the sunsets, I suppose it’s not surprise that I am passionate about both.

Copper Patina Wall Murals-

Copper Wall Murals have been a huge seller recently. From art pieces being sold at The Copper Fox Art Gallery in Leipers Fork to large commission pieces being requested. The above pair was a commission from a client here in Nashville.

While commission art can be a challenge, I love working with clients to create 1 of a kind art pieces for their homes. Copper Patina Wall Art Murals are a beautiful statement in rustic homes, mountain homes, contemporary homes and the new look of the rustic contemporary homes. Murals can be kept in the raw copper mural style or a hi-gloss epoxy laminate can be added for outdoor placement. Outdoor copper murals add a stunning array of color to your outdoor hard scapes. It really helps to soften up the hard scapes.

Transitioning to 2021

I’ve made several of these Copper Peace signs for a couple of people and it felt appropriate to post one as a symbol of Hope as we move into this New Year. Peace seemed to be elusive and harder to find in 2020, much to the surprise of what I had planned. I had so many ideas and intentions moving into 2020 that i had to abandon as I learned to “ReImagine” all that was part of “my new plan”. I am moving forward a little differently this year based on the lessons/gifts of this past year. I am taking a slow walk into 2021 and allowing the universe and Spirit to guide me where I need to be and at what pace I need to follow, to arrive at these places. Whatever unfolds, it will be accompanied with both Gifts & Lessons.

We can’t move into 2021 and just forget all that the universe started teaching us in 2020. There were many gifts that accompanied 2020 and as we make our journey in this New Year, I hope that we can take the gifts that we received and help us to use them to make the changes needed to move forward with Love & Compassion.

Peace to All.

Accent Tables

I recently started creating these Copper Patina Accent Tables. Officially titled “C” Tables. lol Just figured they needed an actual name. It’s taken several prototypes to get the design and stability down but given we have been in a pandemic, time hasn’t really been that much of an issue.

They position well as interior and outdoor decor beside an indoor sofa, in an entry way or on a covered deck. All copper table tops are unique and one of a kind. The copper patina tops are very stunning with the hi gloss epoxy laminate that I pour on for protection. Functional and artistic. I’ll take that! :-)
