I made this piece this past week as a Mother's Day gift. I cut the discs for the orbs from a solid sheet of copper, sanded, hammered and formed them. Half of the assymetrical chain was cut from copper wire and soldered. The darker solid chain is representative of my mother's experience and age. The soldered one reflects my interested in the creative. Together they join to support the protected gold heart within the orb, the tough hammered exterior of which is peeled back to reveal the glowing treasured heart within.
I was pleased with the final outcome--and the recipient was delighted as well.
This design is a keeper!
