Guitar pic experimentation

From my design idea and moodboard i decided to experiment in the ceramics work shop and make some guitar picks to show how i was linking in different media and trying out different techniques. First i traced around the size i wanted for the pick and then used this to draw onto the copper which i had cut out in 3D with machinary. 

Then once i had cut out the shapes i would sand down the edges to smooth them down and make the shape of the pick smoother too.

Once these were all cut out i drew on them with the pen i used in my earlier experimentation to draw on lyrics which i had gathered from people in my primary research from family members and friends.

Then using the heat gun i heated the picks but accidentally i heated some of them too much and stained them, this actually turned out to be a great mistake as it gave the picks a great finish, a sort of burnt red and black finish along with the copper when sanded down.
