I created this from heavy gauge copper sheet and pushed the metal around with steel punches and dull chisel like tools. It is sort of like car body work. Due to the small scale, I wear reading glasses and have to make a great many of the tools I use.
I have approximately 8 hours invested into this study. It is like sculpting the metal. A pine tar mixture is used to hold the metal in place while I move it around.
