Working with Copper, Go Team Venture!

I have been taking a Jewelry class and the first thing I made was a V from the Venture Brothers cut out from roofing copper. The V I cut out was actually the scrap and you can see where I cut into the piece to get my saw in. This is my first foray into metalworking of any kind and I am really liking it.

I am going to take the reverse of this V and solder it to another sheet of copper I will cut out, then tarnish for contrast. I have read that miracle grow works well to give it a green appearance.

Other than copper, I am now starting to work with silver. The stakes are a little higher with silver but things are looking good so far.
