Normally I don't do a lot of fabricating in the summer but we've had a very active tourist season and I have to fill the empty spaces. So the first order of business was to use the last of my "217 Collection" copper to make more of the popular bracelets.
Another one through the rolling mill with a very unusual pattern.
This one is a little different. Rather than running it through the mill to create pattern, we hammered pattern into it and then used sanding and polishing to create a very dramatic effect
And finally, another one patterned via the rolling mill.
All these bracelets have been made with copper that spent over 100 years on the roof of a house before it finally collapsed. I have tried my best to create nice looking upcycled pieces while maintaining some of the history. And when you consider that the copper started out looking like this:
that's no easy task!
Hope to see you at some point this summer when you come and discover the amazing part of Nova Scotia called Digby Neck or simply "The Neck"
