Rhinoceros Beetle pt3

Here is my finished articulated bug pendant. I’m very proud of this piece. It was one of the first pieces we finished for our first year. It’s all cold connections, which means that there was no soldering involved in this project, its all riveted together. You can also see in these pictures some of the carving-out I did on the wings with a diamond burr and some rough sand-paper. The copper has oxidized since I polished it, but I think it adds some life to the finished piece. My metals teacher is actually wearing this piece to an event tonight.
