another spiral design pendant and earrings

http://www.folksy.com/items/1137953-recycled-copper-pendant-and-matching-earrings?shop=yes





cut from a piece of copper given to me by my brother inlaw.It was annealed and cut into three pieces, then the design was worked in wire, taped onto the copper then beaten until its impressed into the metal. The earrings are hung on silver plated hooks and the pendant on adjustable waxed cotton.
It may not appeal to everybody but I like the scarred and used look old copper has,I could spend time polishing or hammering it out but it looses personality when you do that.
I've put this for sale on Folksy

new model army at the forum 03.12.10





once again my single trip to see a band this year has been New Model Army, this time I took both my older children, it was my sons first gig and my daughters second(the first also being nma). Friday was a worrying day what with the snow and general travel chaos across the country but we made it there and made it back without any major hassles.

here's a few photos

Love the zoom on my new camera
