Steampunk Violin Brooch

 New updates on the Steampunk violin brooch that I helped make. This was my first collaboration and I'll have to say I really enjoyed it and hope to do more of this kind of thing in the near future. But for now, here are the production pictures of the brooch...


This is me doing the back of the brooch with chasing and repose techniques.


My coworker, Omar P., doing the designing portion of the brooch.  



Omar doing hand engraving on parts of the brooch. Very talented and self taught. 


Assembling the brooch.

The finished piece. 

...and finally the published images from the South Magazine, of Savannah, Ga. and their Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/southmagazine?fref=ts.






 I hope you enjoy the piece as much as we enjoyed making it. Any comments or questions are welcome so feel free to ask. ^^
