Hi all,
Hope someone can help. My Aunt's friend has asked me to make her a star shaped pendant but she wants a hammered effect. I haven't worked with SS sheet yet so that's not really a possibility. What I want to know is:
Can I hammer PMC? I'm just not sure if the difference in its properties will make it too fragile or likely to snap.
If I can hammer it how do I do this? What's the best hammer to use (I have a ball pein just now)? How hard to I hit? Do I cover it with something?
How do I finish it? Polish it up or just leave it?
If I can't hammer it I've been racking my brains to think how I could texture it to look hammered. I tried a texture sheet with a kind of marbly/divoty effect but it wasn't right - indents were too deep. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!
