Copper-periodic table Cu / Atomic No. 29
Turquoise- hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminum
chemical element CuAl6
Copper healing properties based on metal energy linked
to mental, physical and spirtual health chakras.
Turquoise- the stone of wisdom and spiritual journeys,
self-expression, creativity, peace of mind, spiritual
grounding, absorbs negativity.
Playing around with cold connections, different metals,
assorted beads, jewelry saws, yadda yadda. Filled with
frustration because all of this metal-smithing work is
really new to me and I'm like an immediate gratification,
kinda gal and you need patience...grasshopper...lots of
patience. None of which I have.
It was the end of the day and I had a strip of copper, I
said to myself come on now, how hard can this be.
I rounded the edges of the copper with a file, took
a sharp flat head screw driver, hammered out the
open windows. Pummeled the heck out of it with a
ball peen hammer, bent it around some PVC pipe,
picked up a scrap piece of 18g sterling silver, drew
a bead on each end with a torch, made a few loops
hammered the heck out of it, tested to see if the length
was long enough to go from window opening to window
opening.. hmmm...looked like it might work,looked
over at my stash of beads, spotted the round turquoise
threw it in the middle and cinched up the stone with
copper wire. Done. Half hour max.
I couldn't replicate this if I tried. It was a
copper/turquoise cold-connection spiritual
journey.
I think I want to patina it.
May all your days be filled with new and exciting
journeys.
Thanks for stopping by.

I'm so drawn to copper and turquoise and the silver is a gorgeous touch. This is amazing, Andrea. All that hammering and torching sounds like fun. Half hour, seriously? I think it would be 1/2 a day for me.
stunning Andrea!!
the turquoise compliments the copper beautifully...
you have some amazingly creative and colourful works on your blog :)
I think this is really great as is. But I am a sucker for patina and would love to see you do that too!
