Domassylum - Disc 2

Disc / Copper, Nickle Silver 22 g
2.25" dia.




Here is a three-part disc with no preconceived design beforehand. After one washer was made, a decision for the next was made etc.

The challenges:  
1) hammering the largest / outer washer stretched it. The washer has a thin border, so I couldn't put another one on top like I had thought.
2) The second washer was punched with the same size punch, not hammered. After several playful arrangements, it was soldered, creating an inner contour.
3) The center is a hammered domed copper disc. I couldn't get the exact contour so the solder is only 7/8 in circumference  Further tapping couldn't fix it.
The happy surprise:
The outer copper washer rollied to the back of the n. silver while filing it down, which I hadn't planned but like.
