Creation & Inspiration

This piece is inspired by a French repousse process but uses tufa casting to create it. The fold is fused to create one object. I used this technique which is extremely unique and a way I continue to re-invent and stay challenged. I think you will find the entire piece with the turquoise, sterling silver, and all handmade design to be extremely intriguing. - AA
