Even More Self-Proclaimed Art Camp

Safety first. My first project today was to make my safety goggles more user friendly for middle aged eyes. I took the arms off a pair of readers and tied them to the goggles. Yes. I am a geek. Yes. I can now see what I'm doing...
I used my die cutter to cut some circles out of an old English tin

then used my dome block set to make them, well - domed.

I cut some 1" pieces of copper and punched circles out of the middles, then cut 1.25" pieces of brass and filed it all down to non-dangerous edges.

I also torched the copper to give it a lovely patina, then center punched and drilled holes in the metal pieces. I riveted the copper, brass, and lovely tin domes together and attached the pieces to make this chunky bracelet:

This is a close up. Look at the patina on the copper. Love it.

This idea was all mine, I am proud to say. Now I'd like to switch the copper and the tin around so that there's more pattern. AND - I would like to learn to etch the copper. AND - I need to make a pretty clasp for this. I used a brass lobster clast. Boring, but functional. Craft Camp is going way too fast! I still want to silk-screen some tees and make some stepping stones!!
