Copper Cuff

 After the last post about hammering metal, I came across these copper cuffs handmade by John S Brana in San Franscisco and just had to share.

I think you will agree that they are a work of art.

 A prime example of using a hammer to create something beautiful

 

John uses reclaimed metal and ethically sourced gemstones in his work and has many beautiful pieces, but these are just a selection of my absolute favourites.

 

Being a relatively new hammer addict, I can only dream of making something so beautiful at this time, 

but these have certainly inspired me to keep on hammering.

My neighbours will be sooooo happy.
