Brooches:

Click for close-up view	Item #D1 Copper Brooch with Silver Stripe This is a great rectangular brooch that I textured and hammered, after I sweat soldered a stripe of sterling silver and then rolled it to make it flush. I then soldered a pin back and added a stainless steel piano wire pin stem that has been filed to a point. Perfect for a suit or jacket, this measures 1 3/4" x 2 3/4" just a bit off to be interesting. View of Back View

I then hammered two opposite edges to create a right angle. I textured it, and then soldered a pin back and added a stainless steel piano wire pin stem that has been filed to a point. Perfect for a Winter coat or jacket, this measures 3" x 3 3/4". View of Back
Click for close-up view	Item #D3 Copper Hammered Brooch with Half Domes This 18 gauge copper brooch measures 2 1/8" from the top to the bottom, and 2" from side to side. It is a diamond shaped brooch, with hammered and piercing with four copper half domes soldered on the surface. On the back you will see four holes, one behind each of the domes. When closed objects are soldered on to a plate, there has to be an escape hole drilled or it the domes would explode. I have soldered a foldover piece to hold the pinstem, and soldered a tube on to the other side, then added the pinstem. I hand sharpened the end until it was sharp enough to attach to a jacket. DHT 43 is stamped on the back. I finished this brooch by filing and sanding to 1200 grit. View of Back View View View

I have sweat soldered the brass hammered roof on to the house to create two chimneys. The house shows a hammered circle for the opening. I soldered a simple safety catch on the back. The edges are sanded and smooth, and I have buffed it to a nice sheen. View of Back
