Copper Leaves
Despite being swamped with work due to the time of year, I decided to participate in a group necklace project slated to be sent in to the Belle Amorie contest that has a deadline in Feburary. Our group decided to have an autumn theme to our work, with the ruddy hue of copper being one of the chosen colors. The ladies of the group are all members of “Jewelryhaven” one of the many jewelry themes yahoogroups here on the net.
I was uncertain what to make as my contribution, but I decided to make up some leaf shaped frames in copper and then to embellish them with a thinner gauge of wire and a swirl to give them more substance. Each charm is 1 1/2 inches long and about 1 inch wide. The frame is made of 16g copper wire that has been either coiled or hammered and the interior is wirewrapped 24g copper wire. Everything has been tumbled to work harden the wires and make them nice and shiny.
