Copper-Gold Cushion Cover "Flower"

Inspired by the ancient Eastern copper handcraft; it has been passed on from generation to generation.I wanted to see what one could do when our imagination is allowed to run free. It looks as if the hand moves alone, making the pencil etch those ornaments on the paper in the same way as the etching needle that leaves its mark on the soft copper sheet. With different stroke strength and line thickness I have created the design that reflects this third dimension of engraved depth.
