Copper and Silver
Working with copper has been an adventure. Combining silver with copper by overlapping my hand-drawn silver pieces over domed, textured copper disks was the beginning. I then began etching copper, which opened up an entirely different realm. Not only using the etched copper pieces on their own either polished or torched – but also to create a deep etch that I could transfer into my silver pieces. Finally, fusing silver onto copper is fascinating to me since you get this reticulated effect. I am sure I will be experimenting more as time goes on.
