Creating the Oeuf!

Having a great time in my metal surfaces class at the Multnomah Arts Center! Today I sawed an egg shaped mold out of a slab of solid acrylic. A good hour's worth of sawing. Then I used a hydraulic press and mass quantities of torque to suck the textured copper into the mold. Nifty! Puffy! This will eventually be the core of a pendant to go with a massive turquoise necklace.

I usually create small pieces, but heck, this time I'm going large.

Never stop learning!!
