Texture and color development  

Looking at possible designs to create, I realized that  I needed to play more with the colours and textures of the metals Brass and Silver, so I made two square bars, one Brass and the other Silver. On each of the four sides of each bar I created a texture, a frosted or gritty side made with a broken drill bit, a plain polished side, a round hammer textured side, a straight hammer textured side, a blackened side and an etched side done using Nitric acid.
