Where to see my work
This page demonstrates my use of the ancient Korean technque of Keum Boo.  This involves careful preparation of the silver surface, then fusing a thin sheet of gold to form a robust gold layer.

Silver cats with gold collars
This pair of cat brooches have just got small gold collars.  You can start to get a feel for the thickness of gold on the left cat.
