Raptor retailer Dinosaur Skull, Copper Cuff

retailer This is a hand forged copper cuff that I made featuring a dinosaur skull. This particular dinosaur is called Deinonychus and was featured in all the Jurassic Park films under the name Velociraptor, or Raptors for short. It is solid, made from 1/8 inch bar stock, and is a size Medium. I make pieces like this by taking one of my stamps, which I carve myself, and imprinting it into a piece of metal, be it copper, brass, bronze, or even precious metals like gold or silver. In this case, a length of thick copper. Then, I heat up the copper and forge it around the horn of an anvil. After that, it's just a matter of texturing the metal, to give it character, and polishing it up so it's ready to wear.

Although this is a size medium, I can make it in different sizes. The only information I'd need would be the circumference of the wearer's wrist, and I can figure out what to do from there.
