Hand Forged Copper Cuff 'Lunar ': Individually designed and crafted Copper Cuff hand forged from sheet metal using air chasing and texturing metal smith techniques.This is truly a unique statement piece suitable for men and women. Each of these bracelets will be a one off!
The chef is a lazy sod but I do hope the servings have been worth waiting for? For a while it was Will she, Won't she, Can She? Yes she can! :-) I didn't get to use any fancy tools like the torch, saw, drill or add ingredients like solder but I did what I could with the lovely ingredients and I think they did not need any extra embellishments to be honest! The fantastic Bead soup from my partner Susan McClelland had enough ingredients in it to just add a bit of wire, a few findings to create this! The main piece! Sari Silk Ribbon, Ceramic Pendant Focal, Hand etched Copper Clasp, handmade glazed ceramic beads and plenty of copper wire. All joined together with my trademark spiral links. YES Fabric! Not really my friend! But it was too beautiful not to use! Thanks for the challenge Susan, I quite enjoyed playing with the sari silk to make it part of the pendant. Tools: My hands, Flat and round nose pliers and dodgy eyes....

very interesting, do share the process sometime
ReplyDeleteThanks Divya. I have not written a post about the chasing process yet, but I have done a photo blog of some of the steps in getting to the finished piece on my website which you might find interesting - http://shaliniaustin.co.uk/blog/more-airchasing
