Metalwork: Making a copper bangle

I made this bangle with the same method I made rings before, by stamping patterns onto the strip of metal before I bent it into the right shape. I used a file to smooth out the marks that the punches had left on the other side. I wanted the outside to be completely plain and not patterned, to look simple and sophisticated

I started using a fairly rough file, to make it flat, and then smaller, smoother files to make the surface smooth. I decided I wouldn't polish it, because I wanted to keep the satin finish that I got from the wet and dry paper.

My main aim for this bangle is so that the pattern can only be seen when the bangle is not being worn, and much of the items beauty can only be seen by the owner of it.
