Custom hawk start to finish

Posted on Sunday, March 20, 2011 by Jewelry making supplies New York City


I did a custom piece awhile back for someone who wanted to see my process,
so I took a few photos along the way.

 I started with her hawk photograph.

I created this black and white artwork from the photo.


Then I printed the artwork onto special paper and transferred it with 
heat to a brass sheet that has been cleaned and sanded in
preparation for etching.


I etched the brass and used it to make an impression in
my precious metal clay.


I fired the piece in my kiln at 1650 degrees for 2 hours and out came
a pure silver hawk. Here it is finished and ready to wear.

What's on Your Mind...
