The Copper vine made by a very long process
of heating and hammering the metal down to
a taper called forging.
It has a lovely patina over it to accentuate the
hammered texture.

the orchid is hand sawed nickel, formed
to make the petals. i then placed a patina over
it as well to accentuate the hammered texture on
it.

this lovely is finished off with 2 pearls set on
the orchid as well as i burnished the edges of the
orchid to give them a really nice shine.

everything is soldered together as well
as the pin stem findings on the back.


if you have ANY questions don't hesitate to ask!


*each orchid i make has something different or
unique about it. No two orchids will ever be the same,
just like us people. Whither it be a texture, a mark,
or a patina each one is individual, just like us.
these orchids are meant to personify that uniqueness
that we all have inside us all.*
