Description
We had to make an artistic piece of flatware for intermediate metalsmithing. I forget where I got the fork idea, but I really liked running with it.

All copper: the castle part had brick lines etched into it. I wanted to patina the not so deep lines, but the deadline was coming up and the liver of sulfur was overused.
The clouds are just over dapped copper, sand blasted to rough up the surface, and rubbed with a couple layers of a white prisma pencil. (The white enamel prototypes didn’t look right.) The holes with the vines twisting through were at first an accident, but I really liked it in the end.
The vines are several widths of copper with twisted together with a green patina (I forget what the chemical is.) The bottom golden egg is just a wood half-egg, markered gold, bezel set on flat copper.

The project was filled with a substance I call 'lovehate' but other than the thumbprint that wiped away a big green spot in the front, I decided I like it.

Hours: I don't want to know.
