all that glitters

part of a daily entry photography challenge 'hands' was todays theme.

2/6/2013 'hands' -  studio hands smoothing out some brass charms

Today I was working on a new Mother's pendant design out of a 16 gauge brass sheet.  The thickness of the brass lets me mimic pebbles or rather a more organic feel and shape.  Lots of hammers used, files, 400 grain wet/dry sandpaper and 0000 steel wool which gives the pieces character.
