Copper & Brass Bigfoot Sasquatch Antiqued Charm

Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a legendary figure that continues to stir curiosity and wonder across North America’s forests. This handcrafted charm captures the mystery with a domed brass base that is hand-stamped to give it gentle dimension. Copper accents add rustic depth, enhanced by an antique finish that’s torch-heated and sealed with lacquer.

Perfect as a charm for a bracelet or as a unique component for earrings, it brings a hint of wilderness and intrigue to your designs.

*Handmade and flame-finished, each piece will have its own unique color variation.

My process for making the copper components. We’ve manipulated the color of the copper using genuine top shelf copper and changing the colors using both heat and chemistry. Read on!:

Original Artwork by Patricia Healey ~ Each gorgeous genuine copper bead and pendant is handmade from sheet metal. First we cut the shapes out, then put form to metal using the technique of “Repousse”, (beating the crap out of the metal from the reverse side giving it form). We use a bronze solder which you can sometimes see as bits of gold peeking through the solder seams. To get the rich colors we use our top secret patination formula and then fire it up with a torch. Finally, the color is sealed in with a metal lacquer.
