Copper Beads from Scratch

My latest class project has been using up some copper sheet I've had in my toolbox for a while now! I decided to make beads and display them on sterling silver so the copper looks pretty high end. They're not perfect but I think that the end product is very elegant... what do you think?

I'm not planning on selling these but I might change my mind!

Class Project: Riveting

I made this pendant in my jewelry class. It's made out of copper and brass, with a copper wire rivet and a copper tube rivet. I don't have a chain for it yet but I'll wear it around when I get a gold chain!

New Class Started Today!

Yay! My new jewelry class started today over at the Columbus Cultural Arts Center!

I'm still very much a beginner, as I'm doing the second project one can do in the jewelry classes. I'm going to learn how to rivet 2 pieces of metal together. I started today by designing a pendant and cutting the metal out. It will be made out of base metals, copper and brass. I think it'll look pretty cool though.
