Anyway, my latest creation is with copper. I took a class in the spring which instructed me how to take copper blanks (squares, rectangles, ovals, etc.) and roll them through a press which stamps a design into the metal. It's fast and easy. Then, I took guilder's paint and put a reddish patina on the metal. Again, fast and easy. So, I finally took a few of the pieces and made a necklace and earring set. I added some turquoise beads, glass beads, copper beads, brown pearls, and Swarovski crystals. I added a copper chain and toggle closing. By adding the chain, it makes it less heavy around the neck. I've got a few more pieces I need to complete...so we'll see what happens.
Simply stunning, as are all of your pieces. Nice job!
