This is the second piece I entered--not really complicated, but harder to pull off than I thought it would be. I started with a thought; the folds made by draped cloth are really interesting. How would I replicate that effect in metal? So I started with a sketch, moved to a paper pattern, then on to the finished piece in copper. The turquoise color is produced by a chemical bath that is then sealed with several coats of lacquer to prevent shedding.
