Copper Me This!

Handmade CopperClay Pendant and Bail

I've just created a jewelry item and haven't posted it to my online shop yet.

The two pieces were created from CopperClay

One thing I love about this piece is that the two pieces were created for different reasons, and I never thought to put them together until I was cleaning my studio and placed them to the side one on top of the other!

When I returned to my studio a couple of days later, I noticed how well they worked together and had to come up with a way to join them into one piece.

I first had to drill a hole in the bottom piece, which was quite a task until I realized that my drill bit was dull!!! duh!!! I'm such a blond sometimes!!

Anyway once I drilled the hole and used 24 gauge copper wire to wrap the two together and voila! here's the result.

I love delving into Precious Metal Clay (PMC) as well as CopperClay and BronzClay. I'm a member of PMC Guild.

Rustic copper
by: Rena

I love the wonderfully rustic feel of the CopperClay pieces you created here, Kathy. They are perfect together, and the wirework between them adds a lovely handmade touch.

Thank you for posting this cool example of CopperClay jewelry here!

Inspiration
by: Mare Mare

Kudos to you on your design. Sometimes the oddest things can provide inspiration. (Like you setting the two pieces close together) One pottery artist I know made a sculptured piece when he saw a wavy potato chip stuck on edge on a slice of sandwich bread. That's when I learned to look at things more simply and find design everywhere.

LOVE IT!!!
