Description
Copper, 16x16 cm each. I made these as examples for a class I was teaching on contemporary Arts and Crafts copper work. The bookend on the right has a design cut right through the thickness of the metal, with chased details. The pattern is of a Wapato/Camas flower. They are common here, and the bulbs are edible, if cooked properly. The bookend on the left has the design cut into an overlay plate that is riveted on, and engraved for detail. The pattern is a group of psychoactive mushrooms, which are also common here, and eaten by some. The class went well and all the students made lovely bookends as well, mostly with falling leaf or sea life patterns.
