A few weeks now a best friend has asked me to make her a brooch to wear with a specific sweater she has. Its been a long time since I practiced metal-smithing so I was feeling a bit hesitant…I was thinking hard about the design of the brooch.
She had to remind me a couple of times, asking me when is my brooch going to be ready, have you started working on it yet? Thankfully she let me do whatever I wanted, and I came up with this.
The A is for her 9 month old baby, soon to be called Achilles.


Update: After the photo was taken I textured the whole surface of the letter.
