Brass or copper sheet?

For one of my different hobbies...does anybody have a good source for
brass or copper sheet? I'm thinking something around 0.025" or 0.032"
and two pieces that are about 30" X 30" or so each. Would I need to
take out a second mortgage to obtain pieces like that?

They don't list sheets larger than 2' x 2' but may sell them upon
request.

First place I'd try for copper is a roofer; they use it for flashing.
I'm not sure about the thickness.

Typically, roofing copper is 0.0216" thick (also known as 16 ounce
copper, as it weighs one pound per square foot)
