It has been some time, through harsh conditions and bad climate, but our artist contacted me today with an update!
Here are the comments and photos I received:
“It is quite difficult to photograph during soldering, especially if you work alone and do not want to spoil anything. Therefore, there will be no soldering process, but immediately after, yes.”
“So, after fire and acid magic, I understood that we have a problem. And it’s called Clip. It is too tight and too cheap. I decided, that it’s not necessary to keep it, and add a lanyard ring to the top. But what just a lanyard is not enough. Let’s make a bead)). Spend some time to make a stamp based on ancient coin image. Shiny))) But it is just a tool. Now let’s take some wax and stamp it.”
“The main idea was make an old archaeological view.”
“And again casting”
“Ready one:”
“And so, this is what we end up with:”
“I did not show and photograph the process of laser engraving of ornaments, as it is boring and harmful for the camera.”
“So, there is little work left on the details, sanding, polishing and patina.”
