$275.00
Only 1 available

Hand embossing and debossing are processes used to create raised (embossed) or recessed (debossed) designs on sheet metals - Copper, Bronze or Steel, adding texture, depth, and visual appeal. These artistic techniques are commonly employed in decorative applications to create both beautiful and interesting framed sculptures.

Description:

This piece carries a quiet kind of charm—the sort that sneaks up on you and refuses to let go. Perched on a weathered branch, the frog sits wide-eyed and alert, caught between stillness and sudden possibility. Its copper surface is richly textured, alive with layered patinas that shimmer between mossy greens, warm ambers, and soft blush tones, giving the creature both weight and whimsy.

A delicate dragonfly hovers nearby, tethered by a single curling line, introducing a moment of gentle tension—will it land, or will it vanish just as quickly as it appeared? The golden background glows like late afternoon light, wrapping the scene in warmth and quiet humor.

This work celebrates the small, overlooked moments in nature—the pause before motion, the watchful calm before surprise. It’s a reminder that wonder often lives in the in-between, where patience, curiosity, and a little bit of mischief coexist.
