I’ve been working on developing some of my less used jewelry skills lately, so decided to make a copper repoussage owl for my friend. She loves owls, and I thought an owl would be a good project to warm up before I attempt to finish my big sun pendant. Which is so far looking a lot like an adolescent sun, he’s all spotty and bumpy 😐 I also decided to add little peridot eyes, and to use liver of sulpher to patina the little owl; he looked odd all shiny and coppery. I almost wish I had used a dark stone, but I had a lot of the little peridot, thanks to finding them on sale 🙂 It seems setting stones in weird places is something I need to practice, it took me way too long to set these stones.
