For starters, I will begin by posting some of my jewelry from last year's production lines. These bangles are etched copper and painted. The patterns were derived from the iron work of Savannah's rich historic architecture and ancient Islamic floor tile designs. The technique of form-folding enabled me to hammer these bangles into a natural curve that fit the wrist. They were then spray painted and sanded to bring out the relief from the etching process. Some were touched up with a liver of sulfur patina to darken the copper design.
Here are a few more colors and designs.
What stunning work! The perfect synthesis of raw strength and feminine sensibility. Are these designs available in earrings?
