Messing about with metal - Experiment.3

I punched a 2" disc out of some thick copper which I have had for over 30 years, and had forgotten all about it until recently, when an article on Time for Crafting reminded me, so I had a rummage and found it.



I ran it through my Wizard machine with an embossing plate, and coloured it with alcohol inks. I think that I might hammer it a bit to make the butterfly's body. I think it would look better

Love your metal experiments Lottie. This looks like a piece of jewellery it's beautiful.
Your atc is also just lovely. That image is so beautiful and your shading is perfect.
