With the
arts and craft market looming I decided to mix things up a little and introduce more copper to my sterling silver by turning my attention to another bell.
I was tempted to leave the body of the bell matte but I really am impressed at the level of shine that can be achieved with this shape. I'll never get it mirror perfect but I'm having fun trying! The smooth body of the bell is in direct contrast with the organic handle and ringer and this is hightened by the different colour of the metals. The Handle is cast from a Moonah seed pod from Victoria Park, Queenscliff and the ringer is from the playground at Point Lonsdale.
