Description
1.5"x1.5", copper, fine and sterling silver, 14k yellow gold, amber.
Made for trade for Pascalle Ballard, for her wedding jewelry.
Copper repousse` was used to tap out the honey bee and the wings were carefully cut from silver. I used a 14k yellow gold bezel on the amber to offset the stone and enhance the warmth of the peace. I finished by chemically tarnishing with liver of sulphur and hand rubbing the piece until the high points were polished.
I've never had to do so much anatomical research for a metal piece before, I'm actually rather proud of it. I was terrified it'd look more like a fly.

You did your homework,and it paid off.That's a wonderful bee.
I'd like to see you do more of this kind of work.
We don't grow artistically until we get challenged and we have to function outside our usual conceptual comfort zone.
