Copper and Silver Wire Work
Here's the guy that really tore up my hands this weekend. Pulling this wire tight is pretty difficult. I tried Sharon's idea from before about combining copper and sterling silver. The two metals really look nice together and I thought the moonstones would mimic the colors of the metal and not take away from it. I like the results but I'll be wearing gloves from now on. Ouch!
These little guys I made to match. They are a bit crazy but kinda fun too.
They are up now on Etsy so let's see if they get much love. Ok, that's it for me. See ya, girls!

I love the name...and the components...so rich and intriguing...I am sure that this one won't last long! Enjoy the day! Erin
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS creations!

This one is really pretty, Leslie. I can see it took a lot of strength with all of that wire work and wire wrapping...very labor intensive. This will be a great piece to wear for Fall!
