The bangle was made abut a year ago and wasn't able to find it amongst the chaos that is my home until yesterday!

The Avenger
The Avenger
Called it the Avenger as when I had finished it it reminded me of the TV show `The Avengers`.
Not really even sure why i felt the need to give it a name, I suppose I feel quite emotionaly attached to my work while i am making it, they can feel like children being born.......odd!
Anyhow I was given some kind of thin metal,a kind of foil,possibly aluminium I think its some kind of building/roofing product .The paper used is just black and white paper in alternate layers sandwiched between the metal.
