These little rosettes were textured using a 1963 two shilling coin that was in my coin collection. I loved the intricate pattern on it! Over the weekend I textured about 25 little copper hearts and flowers with assorted foreign coins--you can see the process
HERE.
After antiquing and tumbling it, I sat with this little flower in my hand for what felt like hours, thinking how I might embellish it. I finally settled on punching little holes at the tip of each petal, and adding a copper ball headpin swirled into a rosette. I added little Swarovski crystals in Vintage Rose to the earwires.
I picture these with a long flowing silhouette, feminine and filmy!
