A Metal Waistband


A copper waistband for outfit one of the FMP. It will be able to open and close via a mechanism similar to a hook and eye used in sewing, except made out of metal. There will be two metal pipes attached, going over the shoulders of the wearer.

Brass Rings


My first attempt at making rings. One plain (centre) one with a hammered surface (right) and a rustic ring, with the oxide left on whilst polishing. All made from rectangles of brass cut to size.
