| Steampunk Sheriff's Star, by DreamSteam |
Between enjoying the wonderful indulgences of the holiday and recovering from it all, I finished my first American Steampunk piece of jewelry! As usual, I spent hours choosing then deciding how to arrange the parts in the piece. The main parts, including the pin back, are wired together with copper wire for extra security. The multicolored verdigris finish I finished over the last two days; it turned out differently than any other copper item I have attempted to "age," but I learned some valuable lessons in the process (the musings on that can be found in my post entitled "How to Age Brass").
To me, the filigree star lends a Victorian touch to this symbol of authority. I wanted to begin my voyage into American Steampunk with a six-gun bang; I think it is a wonderful and unique piece. Of course, this steampunk sheriff's star is for sale on ArtFire. Like this piece of jewelry? Pass it on!
