Enter The Dragon

[Moon Willow]

Hi folks

Just thought I'd post a pic of something i made a few weeks back, copper dragon soldered onto a silver bangle,
I don't usually mix these two metals but methinks it's a lot cheaper than using gold.

That's gorgeous Carlton - did you solder the dragon on before you formed? Is it a closed (soldered) bangle or a cuff?

Hi Susie

Thanks for the compliment,

The bangle is 6.5 inches and has a one inch gap when worn, and yes the Dragon was soldered on first
then formed,
I probably will be corrected by the experts lurking on here but I class a cuff as something around two or more inches wide
(open ended)

That's lovely Carlton, and what a beautiful finish

Thanks Caroline

I think i spent more time polishing than making the bangle.

I'm a martyr to my finish I think it's worth it!

Thats lovely!
Really neat soldering , did you texture the silver before or after soldering the dragon on?

What a stunning piece of craftsmanship. I love unexpected textures, esp that which I get from a hammer my OH's Grandfather bought sometime b/n 1910-1920. Using letters is a great idea, so thanks for the tip!

You're welcome Mel, you'd be surprised when you look around how many objects you can use for texturing
