Bending, Shaping, Oxidizing, Polishing

Just made a hammered copper necklace with turquoise nuggets that is one of Hercules' Seven Labors. It was a labor of love I do have to say. You can see the picture above!! Gohan (the dog and floor supervisor) kept me in check along the way. Lots of hammering and pounding. I don't know what came over me, but I singed my fingers with the liver of sulfur gel; I picked up a piece of copper and put it in the baking soda solution, but got a bit of a surprise. I will live to do the same thing again in the future. Be sure to check out my "Dreamer" necklace on Pinterest, my FB page or on Etsy. And while you are on my FB page, hit "LIKE". This will make me very happy.
