Sunday midmorning smithy smashery. I keep making these little spiral charms and chain pieces. Perhaps the will become a larger piece. Copper wire with salvaged glass beads. The brass bangle is a rough test. No annealing, no mandrel, got to just keep hammering at it and bending it into shape. It gets tougher as it work hardens... requires an interesting balance of delicate attention and brute force. If I get it looking nice, it'll be invested with a powerful persistence and perhaps someone will wear it. I wish to make gifts, soon. I think some works are approaching. . . . . . #coppersmithing #copperjewelry #reclaimedmaterials #amateurmetalwork #smithspiral #wirejewelry #wirework https://www.instagram.com/p/COqotifs88h/?igshid=qejbon9s49xc
