Here's today's project, another prototype bookmark. Spent a lot of time doing sketches, and this is just one of the ideas I scratched out. It was easier than yesterday's, and perhaps easier than tomorrow's. I am particularly pleased with how much this one matches the sketch.
Again, a prototype. A few technical details stand between me and a finished piece, not least the question of how to harden the metal. I find myself actually wondering if I can use a stand mixer in place of a polishing tumbler.

How do you make them? Saw or casting or something else?
Cut out from a sheet of copper with a hand saw. I'll probably give the scroll saw a go soon, but I need a zero-clearance plate to go around the blade ... which I have to make myself ... which seems like a lotta work...
