Pigment and Mixed Metal Assemblages to Wear

Mixed metals and pigments: Each piece is an original mini painting or assemblage on jeweler's grade brass or other metal substrate, etched, prepared and painted individually by me, then sealed. These wearables are highly water resistant and probably waterproof. I've tested, had good results but cannot promise absolutely. I don't use resin which, although waterproof, flattens out surface  textures. Surface textures on the little paintings are retained as they would be on any other painting ground. Each piece is velvety to the touch and of substantial heft. Each is signed by me. An occasional swipe or two with a polishing cloth is all that's needed to keep the artwork bright. Raw brass chain can be dipped or polished with metal cleaner. I use Wright's. The pendants average around 2” square and the rectangles are around 2.75” x 1.75”. Other shapes/constructions vary in size and are priced accordingly.
