HEAT TREATED COPPER PIECES and CUT FAUX BONE PIECES

The pieces in the photo were heated in an oven at 350º (F) for 20 minutes.  It demonstrates that you can get some strange color on copper.  Some turn silvery, others gold, and some with the red metallic color.  These are just a few of hundreds of pieces.  You just never know what will pop up.


Some Faux Bone pieces, cut, partially finish with the filing, more to be done.  Last of the Atoll series in back.  New Island pieces in center, saved cut-outs from the pieces in back, and free form pieces in front, all nine to eventually go on a necklace.  Haven't a clue how they will be finished.  I will just wing it as usual.

Missfickle beads have arrived from the good folks at Lima Beads.  They are fantastic!

Stay well, make good stuff, and thanks for looking.

Some folks have to have music.  I have to have Altoids, and the tins make good storage boxes.
