Copper discs model
I’ve been dabbling with other metals then silver lately, trying to force myself into thinking of new creative approaches and this is the first piece emerging.
From a copper sheet I sawed out two circles and hammered them heavily. I really like the hammered effect so I gave the discs quite a rough time before I was happy. The hammering makes the metal’s edges rise and I decided to keep them like that and I also made sure to hammer the edges so the circles weren’t perfectly round anymore, but slightly wavy. (Something my dear husband, the ever lasting perfectionist immediately pointed out. LOL) I paired the discs with a tassel of lovely polished drops of rich, dark red Garnet and a few equally rich, dark red faceted rondelles of Garnet. Lastly I wrapped them to sterling silver chain that ends in my handmade hook style clasp.
I oxidised the whole piece and gave it only a gentle polish.
