Fly Free

This is one of the items I’ve been working on at my metalsmith workshops:

Cooper Bird, Bronze Cloud (tattoo style bird) with medium silver solder



It’s a copper swallow (tattoo style bird), flying against a bronze cloud backdrop. Bronze has copper alloys in it, hence why there are some orange/copper tones showing up in the cloud. Originally I was planning on making a necklace, but now I’m not too sure whether or not it would be better suited as a pin (brooch) or even a belt buckle.
