Theresa entered three pieces of work in the Art contest. She won a 1st and a 3rd place. The Chain for the piece was hand woven and pulled thru a drawplate to compress. The turtle shell was made in copper and the technique was one of the oldest forms of jewelry making called repousse and then chasing the piece from the front. All the tools used for these techniques were also handmade by Theresa. The third place piece was a silver cuff with copper accents on both sides of a large piece of turquoise.
