The first assignment was a pierced medallion. Crystal comes to class with a photograph of an elaborate crop circle in England. She asks if she can use that as her medallion.

I was a little concerned about the amount of detailed cutting that would be required for this first assignment, but she said she wanted to try it.

She used zinc as her metal. This photo was taken today after a month of her wearing it hanging from her ID lanyard. It's a little scuffed, but I wanted her to keep working on her band ring design, so I didn't have her polish it back up.
