Well, this was my extra credit project that I turned in for my metalsmithing class. Not that I truly needed extra points...but I wanted to do something extra rather than endin the semester on making copper bowls for class. This might have been what I turned in...but it wasn't my first concept. My first concept was actually a sword pendant based on one of my older paintings...but this past Monday, I was workin on it and it decided to break on me. I was so angry and heartbroken about the loss that I decided on making this pendant in turn. Took me 6 hours straight to make it...and I rather like tHe end resulyts. It was actually goin to be copper w/ petina with a brass background. Unfortunately, they were ou of copper so I decided on brass and aluminum instead. This ended up being a rather larg\er piece as the width is a li]tle over 5 inches.
