New adventures (take #2)

I love working with metal - just in case you haven't figured that one out yet :)

I love, love, love it: I love how it feels in my hands, I love that you can soften it or harden it - with just a few tools. I love the colours it takes (not so much the brass, my current loves are copper and silver). I love everything about metal!

This week and the following I will share a few of the items I recently made. And I will start with something I never thought I will make: rings!

They are made mostly of copper (the first one is in sterling silver) - with various gemstones. Wire-wrapped, fully adjustable and lovely: what started as a bunch of wire, through careful and loving manipulation ended as a delicate piece of jewelry, ready to adorn your fingers!

  1. Hi Alicia,
    Beautiful rings I love them all. If I were to do this my wire wrapping would be a total mess. Yours is so neat.
