project two - copper bracelet and pendant

Traffic was a big mess last Thursday so I was half an hour late for class and arrived without designs for my final project. I had had a very busy and stressful week and wasn't feeling very creative so instead of designing a crappy project to start, I finished off my bracelet and made a matching pendant. I'll be starting my final project in tomorrow's class.

Here is the copper after I cut the metal and filed and sanded the edges.
