army men

I have been cutting out little silhouette army men and had an idea of making makume gane plate and cutting them out of there to make them camoflagued.

So nick guided me through this technique....

Step 1: fusing the silver and copper layers together

Step 2: rolling the layers once they were fused (one layer started to peel away as it was not fused properly and it created a beautiful pattern.

Step 3: starting to burr in the pattern

I learnt that it is better to use a wider burr than a small little one as more pattern comes out with the bigger burr

The pattern done with the smaller burr.

step 5: rolling out the pattern
