More fold forming

I think fold forming has to be one of the most intriguing activities in jewelry making. It's kind of hard to picture how your piece of metal will turn out after you've folded it, bent it, hammered it a lot, annealed it over and over, then opened it up and played with it a bit more. I'm taking a course at the moment and fold forming was what we did the first class. Lots of fun - and surprises!

Here's a pair of earring I made in copper, with several folds, lots of hammering and a verdigris patina at the end:

Very rustic and sculptural....more to come!
