Mathilda’s pieces are the product of an unconventional self taught technique.  Everything (sterling silver, copper, and brass) has been formed from the raw materials. 

 It is cut, hammered, dapped, punched and stamped by hand and then, in some cases, oxidized to give it an antique feel.  Then using all cold connections it is finished with strands and hoops of silver or attached to chain.  

Objects such as beetlenut, pearl, stone, ostrich egg shell, and other materials are added
to accent some of the pieces.
