Hammered copper toggle clasps in progress
I have been doing some copper wire work and punching out disks in copper. Really Fun Stuff.

A hammered copper button bead. Just practicing with these still. Thanks to Live Wire emag for directions on how to put the wire on a button.
Love these, Mary! I especially like the button. That would make a great clasp and then you could add some dangles to the top. Fun!

ReplyDeleteOh Mary, you always surprise us with such cool new designs. Love them!
ReplyDeleteMary your toggles are to die for...even better in person!! And that copper button!! LOVE IT! xo
ReplyDeleteI love all your designs because they are so rustic and soulful, and beating copper is such a cathartic experience, don't you think? :)

Thank you all for writing in such encouraging and enthusiastic comments about this new work. I so appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI agree Sharon about the cathartic effect of beating copper. Works for any kind of mood. Always a joy to see how the metal moves and changes. Thanks for writing in.
ReplyDeleteMary, this is so exciting! You have been so busy, even with all your family stuff going on. I love everything and look forward to using some in my own jewelry!
ReplyDeleteMary, I always enjoying seeing your latest creations. You never sit still for long & always challenging yourself with new techniques. I really like how you blend your ceramic work with copper. Copper is such a great wire to work with, especially having done some work with brass recently - you realize just how much more giving copper is to work with.
