Memories on Metal

Liver of sulphur patina

I’m always ready to learn a new technique…and combine it with a vacation – Mendocino Art Center north of San Francisco!

Etched onto sterling silver.

We were told to choose an image to be etched onto silver.

Totally taken by the beautiful scenery along that coast, I chose this postcard. The result was smashing!

So this is how it all began–a postcard of the beautiful rugged coastline at Mendocino, California.

A truly unique pendant that carries my memories of the class but especially of special moments like watching the surf, the gulls, the fog drifting in and out (“on little cat’s feet” – Ogden Nash) and searching for bits of sea glass.

I think it’s a keeper!
