This piece has been the funnest to do out of all the pieces Ive done. It is a brass heart with the aquarius symbol on top of it with etching of small lines on each piece. The difficult parts was making the ring even so that it stood up by itself. The filing and sawing was pretty easy and the etching was a cool new experience. I wish I could've took more of the patina of the middle of thew heart because it was hard to get to, but besides that, I felt satisfied with this piece.
This riveted piece took alot of work sawing and etching. This involves lots of fine details with the hair on the creature and the teeth in its mouth. Riveting was the most interesting part because I've never done it before and it was very different. The main challenge with this piece was lining up the holes right so the rivet pieces could fit through all 3 layers. One thing I liked was sanding and patina because its easy and it looks nice. I learned some things that would make riveting easier the next time I do it. I could've done the hole drilling better which would make the rivets cleaner and better looking.
