Been solderin'
This is a brooch I made last week with copper and brass. The three hearts at the top are crystal that I wired together. I retaught myself to set rivets for attaching. 2" x 1 1/2"
This piece is called "AS IS". It is a brooch that has a gothic window shaped background with a filligree
corner attached at the top. The front is actually an empty pocket that is soldered on from the back and bottom. I also added a brass ring that resembles a halo. I wired a swag of beads to break up the length of the piece. Every time my daughter Isabel sees it she remarks that those are her and my initials. 3" x 1"
These two gothic window shapes are two pieces I started on yesterday.
I placed the one with the filligree in front to show dimension/perspective of the size. I am planning to use resin to fill these in but I haven't decided on the images yet. Stay tuned.
2" x 1 1/4" x 1/4"
Oh man! So very lovely!!! Love the hearts all wired together!!
ReplyDeleteWow Anni- these are so lovely. I really like the German?? Dutch? text behind those hearts. It just looks so rustic and old fashioned. The wired crystal hearts add a slightly modern but chic feel. Did you emboss the "amour" into the metal? and then distressed the final product? I am just stunned. Keep it coming. I can't wait to see what is next!
