One word...shattered!!!
I have been hammering away at pieces of lead playing around with shapes all day and my back is killing me; stood up all day brandishing a hammer is not the most relaxing of pastimes but thinking about it a friend of mine, Tracy who was an avid fan of cross stitch broke her wrist through constantly doing it.
I made a small child's shoe out of lead....just wanted to see if I could pound the lead thin to begin with to resemble old, worn leather. The process made me realise just how delicate lead can become and therefore its uses, its only downside is it is so heavy and although easy in a small piece anything larger than 6" x 12" can be hard to work.
