this is the second piece I made in Susan Lenart Kazmer's "Non-traditional Forms in Wire: Bird's Nest" class. It's a bangle of hammered bronze wire pieces woven and wrapped together. I colored the bronze wire by lightly torching the metal. I added patches of patina to the bangle with dabs of Gilders Paste and embellished it with ribbons and various fibers, pearls and crystals. Dangling from the bangle is a brass spent shell casing that sports additional ribbons. Two words "Endless" and "Day" are affixed with resin to the shell casing. I really love working in mixed media. It allows you to look at everyday objects in a different way...to take the ordinary and turn it into something extraordinary!
