tweet hearts.
I have just finished this tree using my new saw. Good saw, feels light and sharp, which is perfect for wee details and embellishments. As with all of my silver tree and birdy pieces i have used a lovely Victorian sterling silver coin as the raw material. These are great as they are beautiful silver to work with and they obviously hold tremendous history and and unknown stories.
Its great to recycle these as the coins would simply be melted down by coin collectors due to too much 'detail' being rubbed away throughout the 100 year+ circulation. This combined with the innate value of the silver means they don't sit around for too long in collectors files!
I have simply drawn a basic freehand sketch onto the surface and then blasted it with my saw. I love it. If you do and you would like on let me know by message, the wall or email, etc and we can sort something out! They will be on the website if i get time very soon.
The wee heart is cut from an old penny. I will stamp the initial of choice into the heart. Alternatively you could have a lovely bronze heart, semi precious stone, etc... you choose.
I thinks thats it?...mmm.. wel for now.
