I would like to use copper sheet to capture the texture of tree bark for a sculpture. I know I'll have to anneal the sheet before working it. I'm looking for suggestions on how one might work the copper directly on the bark to help pick-up the ridges, lines and depressions in the bark. What sorts of tools might I use to help transfer the texture? The copper will likely be either 3oz. or 5 oz. sheet. Any suggestions appreciated.
