a gifty project...

I made this today...technically, it is the first project of 2006. It's actually a project that's been on my mind since early September. I'm not sure why it took me so long to get down to making it, but it did. In any event, I'll be packaging it up and shipping it off to its recipient in a bit.

Side A is etched with a high contrast image of a person's face. The face is very crisp visually when light reflects off of the glass but I don't want it to be a complete giveaway as to who I made it for so that's why the picture is sort of hard to see! The papers sandwiched underneath are stacked and sewn together. Side B is a bit of collage with sewn paper, copper sheeting and screening. I soldered it all together and topped it off with some nice ribbons for hanging.

I hope she likes it!
