Flowery Mixed Vintage Tesserae Tin & Copper Cuff

I’ve been drawn to creating some more complex pieces again recently. This little cuff features a range of vintage flowery tins in various whites, creams hints of gold—all with lovely aged patinas. Each piece of tin is hand cut, distressed and laid out on the copper sheet. Working from one end, I punch teeny tiny holes and then rivet each piece to secure it to the copper strip. Once all the pieces are married together, I file and finish the edges so that they are smooth. The cuff is then protected with a thin layer of finishing wax. Bending the whole piece into the cuff shape is the final step. The finished bracelet is about .75” (19mm) wide and 6.5” long.
