Colored Pencil on Copper

I've been working on cutting more pancake or blanking die to use with my Hydraulic press and I'm having a ball using the colored pencil on them. Here are a few new pieces and another on the way.

This is about 2.5 inches long. 

I love how the back of this turned out. 

I'm calling this the chalkboard heart. 

Next up will be some sugar skulls.
I would like to introduce you to my helpful sidekick Roxi she's an Australian Shephard who thinks nothing can be made without her stamp of approval and a touch of dog fur. She looks a bit crazy here but she was trying to squish her head into a space it normally doesn't fit into.

Hydraulics, Texture & Techniques

Emily  Wohlscheid and I are teaching a class at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts for the spring semester on the hydraulic press and color techniques. One of the things we are showing is colored pencil on copper and I thought my readers might like to see some of the samples.
