This Aspen leaf doesn’t fall—it lingers. Forged from steel and shaped by hand, it’s suspended in time within an asymmetrical frame that feels both structured and organic. Each leaf is handcrafted with its own quiet curve and character, then left to age naturally in the elements.
As days pass, the raw steel develops a rusted patina—first bright, then mellow—until it settles into a deep tobacco tone. Sized around 15" x 15" x 2", it’s ready to hang indoors or out, with a simple sawtooth bracket on the back.
A note: If you bring it indoors, know that rust is a living finish. It may flake a little as the seasons shift. A light mist of matte spray (like Rustoleum) can help keep things tidy without taking away its raw beauty.
Each one is a little different. Just like real leaves.
