I have been bezel setting everything lately. Here is the latest piece. Beach stone with copper. I added a nice little cut out to the back and it shines nicely when held up to the light.

Crane Badge In The Wild
Awhile ago I made a copper, etched paper crane badge, and the owner sent me some pics of it in the wild!

Custom Crow Feather Bell
Brass bell, with hand made feather. Feather is copper, with brass wire, textured with a cold chisel.
Danno Razor Blade Headbadge
Made this for a customer, brass letters, over copper. I like the oldy timey razor blade design, and I am getting much better at soldering little letters onto things.
Sister Badges
Here is the sister badge to the Celeritas badge I made before. I think the second one came out even better than the first.
Celeritas Badge
Made this for a customer, turned out to be rather tricky, but really liked the way it turned out. Nickel. Cutting out each little letter was both fun and time intensive, but I think they came out well. Now I get to make a copy of this guy, should be fun.
Runner Head Badge
Made this for a customer, nickel background with copper top layer. I am still getting the hang of nickel, it expands and contracts greatly when you torch it… tricky would be the word I would use. But I think it came out well, and I am really liking how the patina is unique and different every time you apply it to the copper, you never know what you are going to get.
