Playing with Copper Wire
I have been wanting to play with copper wire for a long while and finally did just that last night, of all time when I was busiest. Maybe it was stress due to the unfinished work and presentation (this morning). Anyway, I managed to steal some time off "work" to hammer two copper wires and twisted them into this two almost identical pieces. Not sure what to do with them but it was fun to do all the hammering..:) Maybe I should wire wrap the loops with some small beads. I can "see" green will go very well with copper!
What think you?

It's strange Mei, I always avoided copper, didn't like it much, but once you start to work with it, it can really drag you in. It's warm, earthy, easy to manipulate...have fun Teri http://www.sandtcreations.com/wordpress
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy working with copper and many times combine with sterling.
ReplyDeleteHope all that hammering made you feel better. Nice design.
like the hammered ones. Hope to get over the busy season soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the hammering was great for stress relief! It looks good too... I can see green and red beads on there... Earthy and Christmassy at the same time :)
ReplyDeleteso pretty! I've got so much to learn yet. I believe that practice makes perfect :)
ReplyDeleteI love copper and work with it often. Luckily doesn't turn my skin green. What about making them into earrings?
