Its fall, and leafs are falling left and right, I have been making some fall inspired head badges. This one came out really nice, copper, and liver of sulfur patina. When I polished it a deep lovely red came out of the copper.

I really like the way this came out and I think it might be one of my best head badges yet.

it came out totally awesome! my girlfriend sent you the artwork (sorry about the quality) and gave me the head badge for my birthday. i was complete surprise and i was blow away with how nice it came out!! I LOVE IT. probably took me ~1.5 hrs to get it into the right shape to fit my bike but it looks pretty bad ass on my cyclocross bike.

Wow, thanks so much for the kind words Mike. I am glad you like it, and you did a fine job of attaching it to your bicycle. It will look especially good after you get it all covered in mud and muck in the next cross race.

I was sent this:

And came up with this:

Gave it a nice high polish and burnished the edges (I know no one ever looks but I like to make them classy). It was a simple design, but I enjoyed making it none the less.
