Monday the 1st of October
We used thin pieces of metal; steel, brass, copper and we experimented with a few machines in the silversmithing room.
We nailed on these metal pieces with small nails, we could bend them round a corner or attach them artistically to a wooden cube.
on this side I lightly torched the top left piece so a rainbow effect appears, top right I put through the rolling machine with groves diagonally then the opposite to create a cross hatched effect and the bottom piece I burnt holes in.
The top left piece was put through the rolling machine with groves but straight on this time so it looks like a chocolate bar, on the top right piece I drilled holes but didn't go all the way through then in the bottom left piece I put the whole piece into acid so it strips the shine away then I lightly torched it so the rainbow appears. Then the bottom right piece I put through the fly press and caused a small piece of wire to be indented into the metal.
The left piece was lightly torched, the top right was put through the rolling machine with groves an the bottom right was lightly burned into small circles then drilled through in the centre of the circles.
The left piece was lightly torched the put the the rolling machine with groves only one way, the top right was also put through the same machine only diagonally the the bottom right was indented on the fly press using the piece of metal where i created small ridges by not drilling all the way through the metal.
I pasted a black liquid onto the metal in a pattern then dried it then I put it in the acid so the shine disappeared, then i wiped away the black paint stuff and underneath was still shiny, I then burnt t to get the colours.
The top left was indented on the fly press twice, the middle was lightly torched, the right piece as rolled through the machine with groves then burnt opposite way round to the way I did it before. The middle left piece has a flattened wire spot welded onto it, the piece down from that was drilled and the bottom left was also spot welded.
