I mentioned how I was curious if there was a way I could physically recreate the way my pattern creates it’s self. One straight line at a time, and Liz in the metal workshop introduced me to soft soldering. I was able to cut copper coated strands into short pieces and start to build them up using the solder at the edges. Every time I add a new strand to the piece it grows in size and shape and I love how it is almost growing. I’m not going to pretend like i’m very good at soldering, because it’s taken a while for me to even create this small piece however I LOVE working with it and seeing it form. It’s the process as well as the outcome that I enjoy and it is something that I plan on developing further.
