Magnolia Necklace


New magnolia necklace in brass that I designed as a gift for my friend. I sketched the design using a vintage fabric featuring magnolias as inspiration. I scanned the sketch and resized it in illustrator. Then, I printed it out glued it on the sheet metal and began sawing away. I stamped little dots in the middle and the pressure actually bent the petals forward just a tad so that was a nice unexpected result. I finished it off with an oxidation bath for patina, gave it a brushed finish and hung it on an oxidized sterling silver chain. They are now available in my shop here.
