Copper Feather with Patina Cuff
by Zoraida.
(Patchogue, New York, USA)
Some time ago, when I was learning to work with copper sheet, I formed this feather-like leaf. Not happy with the results, I put it aside among my other “rejects”.
It didn’t have a patina yet as I hadn’t discovered Gilders’ Paste yet.
I rediscovered my “feather” while looking through my reject stash for ideas and decided to make this bracelet by curving it on my bracelet mandrel and wiring it onto thick copper wire.
I oxidized the bracelet and added a patina to the leaf/pendant.
I like the way it turned out, good thing I never throw out those rejects!
