Using Rock Formations As Inspiration For Copper Cuffs

Image
Perfect time for a fall road trip and going to Southern Utah seemed like a great idea.  Got the map and planned the trip to several places - some we've visited and some new.  At each of the parks. reserves and monuments, my eyes went to the rock formations.  They were very different in each of the places.  And yes, I took lots of pictures and it will take me a while to edit them for viewing.   When we returned home I simply had to let the formations inspire me.  What better medium to use than copper and what better technique than foldforming?  So I'm sharing my rock formations and the copper cuffs I made.  Just enjoy them!
