and the completed photo holders!

Here are the little photo holder guys after being cast in bronze, cut off the "tree," and polished up a little bit.
They were really fun to stack in interesting ways.
I drilled tiny holes and pressed in two little pins to hold each pair together. Since I had three pairs, I tried out some different finishing options. Here you can see one highly polished pair, one heated and treated with black patina, and one polished, patina-ed, re-polished, green patina-ed overnight, heat-treated, and black-patina-ed.
Here's a close-up of one of the bronze pins.
And the final product works! It makes a pretty good business card holder too.
