Its a 3 peat

                  This final project is 3 rings that are a sun, moon and star. This process was very time consuming because it was 3 pieces that involve alot of sanding and soldering. Sadly, at the end of this project, my last piece completely fell apart and I didn't have time to put any of it back. I did enjoy making the Sun because it turned out the best and it wasn't super easy or hard. I learned that I need to really focus on etching more because alot of the time it turns out sloppy. I challenged myself with small etchings because I think it makes stuff look alot better. I think the Sun turned out well, but I thought the star and of course the destroyed moon would've made this project a success

YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS WORKKK!!!!!!!!!

             The process of this masterpiece was way more time consuming then difficult. My artistic skills have always been way below average compared to the creativity my mind produces. The most challenging part was the beginning sawing because I never did it before and it was the first thing I had to do for the project. The filing and sanding just got repetitive and boring throughout the masterpiece. I enjoyed seeing the end result and being surprised of the masterpiece that was made. I learned that with enough effort and dedication I can be an excellent artist.

Marksman ring

        The process of this ring was much more simple than the necklace. The sawing was more efficient because the copper metal was very soft compared to the metal of the necklace. There was less metal to sand and file which was nice and the soldering was the coolest step I've done so far. The challenge I encountered was the soldering of the small diamond onto the M. The flame tended to blow the piece off of its place and bringing it back to to center with the flame going was hard. I enjoyed working with fire because it was different and something I learned during this process was that working with metal has been handled more comfortably. I challenged myself with the petite pieces I used and I wish the middle piece would be more centered and not crooked like it is.

Creature rivet perfection

          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.
