Creative Day ~ Dragonfly in Copper!
You know, if you have been following me for a while, that I love working in Copper! It is so flexible and forgiving. It can be shaped, cut, melted, formed into almost anything. I just love it!
"Pure copper is soft and malleable; a freshly exposed surface has a reddish-orange color."
And "In volume, copper is the third most recycled metal after iron and aluminum." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper)
This project is an extension of the dragonfly in copper as I have given it color with tiny Delica seed beads and larger beads
It was a fun experiment in color and I think it came out rather well.
I did use 20g and 28g wrapping copper wire in this little guy. I also used a baroque peacock fresh water pearl and a hematite bead for the body.
Here is the final piece. I know there will be more friends of like him made. Look on the site for the ones we will have up for sale!
This was a fast hour project that I know I will do again and again! I will credit the copper designer when I find the photos again.
Enjoy your week! SOLD!
