I cut her face out of 20 gauge sheet which I filed, sanded and finished then textured with a ballpeen hammer and used a circular punch for her eyebrows. I wanted her to have fissures, like cracks in stone (medusa, stone, you get it), so without annealing my metal after hammering I dapped it into my leather sandbag thing until it cracked, which actually happened roughly where I wanted it to which is nothing short of amazing. Next I formed her hair from strands of 16 gauge wire, two of which I chiseled for a striped appearance, and soldered that on. I also left a rough patch of solder where her 'ear' should be.Then I twisted the front 'snake' into place and soldered it to the rest of her hair to make the bracelet part more secure. Finally I balled the ends of the wire snakes and soldered them together, added my patina and polished it all up.
