Etched Cuffs

by Joan Williams.
(Springfield, Missouri, USA)

My obsession with etching brass and copper is still going strong!
The first cuff bracelet is copper, and I etched a trailing vine design the length of it, and then added a wash of turquoise blue. I stacked three metal flower shapes on the center and anchored them with a bright coral colored glass bead.

The second cuff is brass, and an all over pattern was etched onto it. The centerpiece is a brass bee charm that I layered over a filigree piece with verdigris patina.

The patterns on these were applied with rubber stamps. My next challenge for myself is to etch with a hand drawn pattern!
