COPPER, COPPER, AND MORE...




















































I promised an update this week of my current projects and this is it! I have incorporated hammering, wire wrapping, stringing, and using a dapping block into these items. I don't have them posted to Artfire yet, but hope to soon. Please post a comment and let me know what you think of my newest creations! The glass beads were made by my friend, Jeanne (AKA gammiebrat) and I love the color of the beads with the copper. Thanks, Jeanne! Jeanne and I also invested our dollars together to purchase a kiln and are hoping to make some good use of this learning to use PMC (precious metal clay) and perhaps some other glass items. Thanks for looking!

  1. Beautiful work Anita! It was a pleasure meeting your and Jeanne today at the bead shop. I hope we get a chance to meet again. It's pretty exciting to have a bead shop in the area, I'm sure Kris will make it very successful.
