Another Monday here and lots to do! I'm working on a second watercolor that I hope to finish today. I have some new empty nest pendants made and ready to put into my tumbler. I'm experimenting with different ways to add a patina to my copper jewelry. One way I use is to dip my pieces into a liver of sulphur mixture which turns the copper black. I then sand the wire to take some of the black off, which creates a lovely antique look to the copper. Another way is by heating the copper with a blow torch. You can achieve gorgeous colors that way. I'm going to use chemicals today to try and get a beautiful turquoise/blue color. That would be cool! I'm still doing the

Right-Brained Business Plan by Jennifer Lee. It's for all of us creative people who cringe at the idea of any kind of formal business plan. I need all the help I can get and I'm looking forward to receiving this and getting started.
Happy Monday! :)

nosebleed! the sulfur-copper something made me dizzy, but i like those earrings --- not a fan of such kind, but i was convinced to sport a pair or two.
anyway, thanks for mentioning Right-Brain Business Plan. surely an interesting read. I want to have my own business too, but the "how's" gets blurred and more blurred as i progress on thinking about it. :)
Hi Gina ;o) Love what you are creating! It sounds so cool! Have you ever put a coating on your copper, so people who have allergies, don't have to worry about it? Or is that too much to ask?? ;o) Have fun reading!! Hugs ;o)
Hi Stacy, I believe the copper can be coated with a water based varnish. I will do some research and see what I can find out. :)
