While one project cures in investment for casting tomorrow, I’ll show you something new. I got a new texturing hammer for Valentine’s Day (yes, he truly knows what I want) and put it to work on brass. I cast some copper trinkets and ended up with earrings! These are coated with a metal lacquer so the color shouldn’t change from this.
I also made some straight copper bracelets. I appear to be outnumbered by folks who *can* wear copper without a sterling or leather barrier, so this is for you. Like the earrings, though, there’s a thin coating of metal lacquer on them so the color will stay true, and someone with allergies should still be able to enjoy it. I haven’t given it a long test, though, so I can’t say if the lacquer will wear off eventually. The first one is etched with a winged claddagh and is 1″ wide. The second one with the sculpted keyhole frame on an etched background is 1-1/2″ wide.
