Puffy Heart Pendants

These are two sided pendants, front on the left, back on the right. One could wear them either way though. I made a template out of plexiglass in the shape of the hearts on the left and then, using the hydraulic press raised it into a puffy shape. The textures are from pattern plates that I stamp on nickel silver and then roller print on copper. I sometimes enjoy creating a design on the back of pendants, you could wear it that way but sometimes it is just a private aspect of the pendant that the wearer can just show to special people. I did a series of about 5 or 6 of these a few years ago and just ran across the plexiglass template so am thinking of making another and seeing how I can change it some. Mixtures of silver, copper, gold and brass with fresh water pearls.
