I've been trying out cutting solid shapes, rather than using wire to make the patterns on these copper pieces, I recently bought some metal shears, which makes it much easier on the very thin pieces of silver sheet that I have. I quite like this quirky little tree, it's not your usual Christmas jewellery and could definitely be worn all year round.

Full description
A disc of copper with an abstract Christmas tree shape in silver fused to the surface. There are little pieces of silver on the tree shape to give it a more three dimensional appearance. These are little off cuts and left over pieces from other projects and from the cutting of the tree shape.
The fusing technique gives a slightly unpredictable result, so the tree is fairly lopsided.
After polishing and doming the disc, a little more heat is applied which gives the copper some nice colours.
I found some patination liquids among my stuff and I've applied one called Aqua Blue to parts of the tree, it's intended for use on copper but I thought I'd see what effect it has on silver, it seems to have given the tree a slight mauve tint.
The pendant is finished with a fine layer of microcrystalline wax to preserve the colours and prevent oxidisation to some extent.
The pendant hangs by a copper jump ring on a very fine, natural leather thong, the thong is adjustable for length by two sliding knots so it can be worn however you like, choker length or longer.
Designed by Ley Holloway in Ilfracombe
