This stone is native copper in agate, and has become a bane I now dislike.
I cut, polished and wrapped for friends.
I decided that vintage bronze wire would better offset the native copper better than copper would.
I posted my first tree pendant here a couple weeks ago and now I'm back because I made more. All of them are on Lake Superior agates like the first one. It's so much fun to try to make little pictures using the features of the agate!
I'm just starting my journey :),
I am a complete newbie for wire wrapping. I have ADHD and I pick up new hobbies as a project inspires (hits me upside the head with a 2x4) me.
I want to make a few cabochon pendants. I would prefer to do stainless steel because of the price, sturdiness, and durability. But I have read about how it is harder to work with and can work harden.
I am planning on doing this ( https://youtu.be/vUwMGEta1go?si=74HCwTDgboqJ2nn0) tutorial. It calls for 20g & 28g round dead soft copper.
Can I do it in stainless steel? Do I need to use a bigger gauge to be easier to manipulate? Should I just give up my stainless steel dreams and get a colored copper instead?
Just gave this heady boii a nice polish and cleaning! It’s looking bright, shiny, and ready for an adventure!
This wire wrapped pendant features some juice! Each gemstone was hand selected by me in Tucson at the yearly gem show.
This pendant features a blend of my filigree and tech styles. I’m in love with the result!
