Copper wire and Green Beads - Wavy Necklace
Next to Cold Porcelain, I'd say copper wire is my favorite jewelry making element. This is a very delicate necklace.
I just cut out lengths of copper wire in pair. Did not even make the segments all of the same length..just to make it more interesting.
But I managed to shape similar 'wavy' patterns on each pair, just to keep a slight control.. a sort of uniformity, while still looking a bit 'off the cuff' ...!!
Hammered the wire after shaping, though I left the two dangling pieces just so...
And it was sold withing a half-hour of posting it.
Best of all, it suited the wearer to a T.. just making things perfect !!
Now I have to make a pair of earrings to go with this necklace. Will post that later.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Cynthia..
DeleteI haven't worked with copper at all. So the wire won't turn your skin green? I remember having cheap copper jewelry as a kid that always turned my skin green.
ReplyDeleteHi Jojo..before I started working with copper, that was a concern for me as well.. but I have some pieces I made , for more than a year now, and they look great ..- no green so far ..!! The copper can be treated too.. right now, I actually put a coat of varnish when I want the color to remain just so. other times, I let it be..
