marriage of metals (married metals) |
these pieces are made using a technique called marriage of metals. marriage of metals is created by sawing out a shape in one color sheet metal, then replacing that same shape with a different colored metal. this process is similar to the way a puzzle is put together. the pieces are then soldered into place flat on a soldering block. to finish the effect, the pieces are filed and sanded until all different metals appear to be one. |
