Copper Leaf Strand

Copper Leaf Strand

Sharon Miller-Thompson

Handcrafted from pure copper, each leaf in this unique sculpture is individually cut, heated to reveal a naturally occurring rainbow of colors, and textured by hand. The copper is then sealed to preserve its vibrant coloration, making the piece suitable for both indoor and outdoor display.

The leaves are thoughtfully selected and strung together with glass beads, creating a delicate, kinetic sculpture that gently flutters and turns with the breeze. Each piece is individually crafted, so no two sculptures are exactly alike.

Combining metalwork, glass, and movement, this sculpture brings an unexpected touch of color and artistry to a garden, patio, or indoor space.

Dimensions (without hook): 32" x 2" x 1/2"

If for any reason you are not completely delighted with your purchase, we offer the following return policy:

  • In-Store Purchases: Items may be returned for store credit or exchange within 14 days of purchase, accompanied by the original receipt. Artwork must be in original, undamaged condition. Special orders are final sale.

  • Online Purchases: If you are not satisfied with your online purchase, please contact us within 14 days of receiving your order at orders@plumbottomgallery.com or use this link to arrange a return or exchange. Returned items must be in original condition and carefully packaged for return shipping. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the item arrived damaged or in error.

Because each piece is handcrafted and often one-of-a-kind, we strive to ensure the best fit for your space and style. If you have questions before purchasing, we’re always happy to offer personalized recommendations.

Your replacement order will not be mailed until we receive your return. There are no additional shipping fees for replacement orders.

Any order (except special orders) can be canceled before it is shipped. To cancel an order, please email orders@plumbottomgallery.com. You will receive your refund on the same form of payment used to place your order. Your refund will be processed the next business day, though it may take 7 – 10 business days for your refund to appear on your statement.

Out Of State Sales Tax

By law, we are required to charge sales tax in Illinois. We understand that seeing multiple taxes on your order can be confusing or frustrating! Plum Bottom Gallery is required by law to collect and remit sales tax not only to the state but also to all applicable municipalities where the purchase is shipped or processed.

Because of this, your order may include state, county, and local municipal taxes. These rates are determined by the state’s tax system — we don’t have the ability to adjust or remove them.

Every dollar of sales tax collected goes directly to the appropriate state and municipalities. None of these funds stay with Plum Bottom. This process ensures that we stay compliant with tax laws and can continue offering our collections to customers nationwide.

About the Artist

Sharon Miller-Thompson

Sharon Miller-Thompson

 

A lifelong artist, Sharon has worked in many media over the decades.

“I am most inspired to create functional artwork that tells a story through the materials, possibly clay, glass, steel, copper and often found objects.”

Sharon creates functional, fun and unique outdoor garden art with her welding and metalworking skills. From mixing metals to welding steel and using glass or found objects to create colorful accents, Sharon creates one-of-a-kind pieces that give each landscape its own unique flavor. Her pieces make excellent focal points, offering both beauty and a sense of whimsey. Each piece expresses her distinctive flair and captures the imagination of all who encounter it.

Both Minnesota natives, Sharon and her husband, Steve, share their century old home in St. Paul with their 2 dogs, Marlowe and Holly.  The house also serves as headquarters for Yardly Art studios, with both dogs overseeing most Yardly Art daily operations. 

Sharon received a BA in Fine Art from Macalester College, an MS from Winona State University, and has taken many welding classes at St. Paul College.
