Use nippers to cut out a copper shape, which of course, I did not cut out the piece accurately...but after cutting out a shape, hit the brass piece with a ball ping hammer and it makes the impression. I wanted the marks to show up, so when I got back home, I rubbed on the gilder's paste, which I so love, and wish I had all the colors of the metallic. When you come to the September "retreat" let's hammer some stuff! I can see Mike now as I pull out a hammer and start hitting copper, in the house! Felting wool drives him insane!Victoria Adams Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08009272547325173914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216307374745606577.post-65643796878103305802011-08-06T12:52:17.350-07:002011-08-06T12:52:17.350-07:00This is so pretty.

I purchased spools of antique brass wire, while I was at the show and would like to make a collar using the wire and simply go crazy making a focal piece. Now when will THAT happen?!Victoria Adams Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08009272547325173914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216307374745606577.post-71307861318358034552011-08-06T12:36:47.215-07:002011-08-06T12:36:47.215-07:00Ruby, thank you!
