1st one finished.

1st finished pendant...

copper, liver of sulfur then lightly rubbed off, hammered, with "THIS IS AFRICA" stamped on. [earlier post]

The letters have been a little lost after many attempts to figure out what surface finish/texture i was going to use. I like how it turned out. I want it to have an aged quality to it. I wanted it to be rustic and beaten. I put the pendants on a long steel chain. I think the black chain works with it. I'll take more pictures with the chain later.

If people end up really liking these pendants i'd like to make several and donate part of the earnings to some sort of foundation. Maybe some sort of organization that helps child soldiers, refugees, etc. I already found the group Save the Elephants:

"Our mission is to secure a future for elephants and to sustain the beauty and ecological integrity of the places where they live; to promote man’s delight in their intelligence and the diversity of their world, and to develop a tolerant relationship between the two species."

What do you think? I'd like to see how they do at the sale. We priced work Thrusday for the sale and these with the long welded chain will be priced at $50.
