Solder Inlaid copper

Pendant / copper 2" dia,
19 g, silver solder, Baldwin's patina

Today's pendant is 2" in diameter, 19 g. copper with silver inlay applied to an engraved random design, with a Baldwin's Brown patina. This is the first time I've tried engraving with a bur on the flexshaft and applying silver solder with a torch.  That process can be tedious, but it's creative. It's the hand sanding for hours to remove the excess solder that is horrible. My hands are not happy. The shine off the metal makes it difficult to get a good picture - gotta work on that.  I enjoy applying a hammered effect with a slight dome. Here's to being okay with firsts - not a good show of craftsmanship, but I have high standards. I need to get over the fact that handmade is not going to look like machine made.....curse you Virgo perfectionist.
