Fire colored copper

7:57 pm - 04/24/2012
I do only wire wrapping work. That is, until I read how you can color copper with fire. Hubby had a mini kitchen torch and I took it into my head to buy a sheet of copper and see what I could do. The mini torch's plastic nozzle melted and imploded two seconds after I put it down after finishing the very last panal in these two pieces, so no necklace. I loved working the metal and am so happy with the results.

Thank you. Be careful with the kitchen mini torch! To be fair ours was a cheap 11 dollar one.
