WOW….Thanks for all the kind words!

I had this idea for the PMC Conference Exhibit for some time…and wanted to do the piece in copper and bronze but was waiting for Hadar’s workshop.

This is comprised of 3 separate pieces and put together with a brass screw. The brass screw has pmc at the base that was torch fired.

As you noticed Jan, the elements on the top of the head are no longer there. They came trhough the firing just fine but I had a technical difficulty getting the brass screw to come out. So in gripping the piece the top parts broke off and I did not have time to do a repair. So I decided to go without, and use the piece just as decoration.

Originally the elements on the head would have been where a a cord or chain could be strung. The entire totem pole can unscrew, making it into 3 separate pieces. The 2 faces were to be earrings while the bird would be the the pendant.

I will be making another with all those possibilities in the future.

Cindi, you will have so much fun learning from Hadar….shes the best!

Thanks again!

Diane that is a great piece! do the parts stack together or were they fired in place with a second firing? We are really looking forward to having Hadar here in Grand Junction, CO in April 2010. At this writing we have a completely filled class of excited and enthusiastic arts!

What a great piece! I *love* the wings. Nice work Diane, and a fun idea too. Did the head ornamentation not make it through firing?

What a perfect use for combining copper and bronze.

Cheers,
