Masks!

Here are some pictures of things I made in my jewelry class a few weeks ago. The top is a pendant and earring set. I made the faces first out of a wire and then used a hydrolic press to, well, press the image into sheet metal. Then I used liver of sulfur to on one side to make it black. I really like the black and copper look. I think it's cool.

The second picture is of a full sized mask I did. It's mostly just saw work on the mask. I made the eye using the hydrolic press so it stands out a bit. I made the feathers out of brass and did fold forming and texturing on them and I also gave them a heat patina. There's a chicken bone in there which I did not make, and then little cone shaped things at the bottom. Again fold forming and then liver of sulfur patina.
