This piece was made out of copper, brass, and copper rivets. The brass piece was the first piece that we actually made in metal smithing class so we could learn how to use the saw, the file, and the buffer. Once I was finished with the copper piece I chose to grab scrap pieces to make an actual piece to wear. I chose to make the piece look like a landscape, that had the brass as the mountains and the copper pieces are the sun going down and the sky. I connected the pieces by drilling holes in certain areas and connecting them with rivets so it does not fall apart. I used a hammer to make the rivets flat in the piece so it would not fall out and it would stay connected. In the end, I made this piece a pin to wear and will give it to my grandmother when I am completely finished.
