Chasing and Respousse

Oh chasing and repousse. Learning this new strategy of design, although can be wonderful in creating new and detailed pieces, is not without its share of complications. First, you have to be careful not to burn your pitch. Second, and i am completely guilty for doing this, you have to be careful not to pierce the metal from hammering into it too hard. I made this mistake and pierced my first project, but luckily was able to create a stronger design out of my mistake. I have become very familiar with this process now and can say i am quite the fan of chasing and repousse. I recommend it to any metal worker trying to take their piece to a higher level of design.
