Here is a piece I made for my wife 20years ago incorporating one of the faced done in repousse. She had asked me why I did not make smiling faces. This piece was made in response.

Hi Fred,

I really like your pendant - great repousse (as always). What kind of metal is it made of & what are the dimensions?

That's MAN-SIZED jewelry, Fred! Mr Sun looks very self-satisfied and content with himself.

I love your faces whether they smile or not. very nice. I would love to see you work. I have little experience in repousse, but I think I am about to experiment after seeing several great pieces on this site.
