Playing with copper treatments...

Been playing with heat treatment for different colors in copper.  Looks a little industrial to me, but rather fun and funky! 

Have some great little blue topaz stones to put in the tube settings of the crinkly one.  Love the purple effect directly obove this paragraph!

Gonna pick up some Renaissance wax tomorrow to seal in the colors, set the stones for below after that.  Looking forward to seeing if the colors look different after sealing!

  2. the colors on these are simply created with application of heat. I have experimented with a number of things, but have not come up with any that do a good job of sealing the colors, but you can certainly put them back in and get colors all over again if the color fades or goes away.
