Embossing on copper

Patina, embossing surface design

Jellyfish and starfish.

And a few hearts.

Copper + silver + flame – what more could a girl ask for?

The copper and silver will be incorporated with other elements and will become…

I’ll share the progress later.

See you later, Bye!

  Hi Melissa, I was just thinking about you. I’m not completely sure of the final outcome either, but that often is the way I work. Even when I plan, plan, plan, in the end rarely is it what I thought it would be. I just have to roll with it. xo Kim

  Thanks Debra. The flames can only burn you! Ha. When I first started working with glass, all those years ago, I was so afraid of getting cut. Which was so ridiculous, as I had worked with metal for years, welding and my plasma cutter to cut the metal. I got burns and cuts everyday – I don’t know why I thought a glass cut could be any worse. Sewing is certainly safer. I love learning new techniques, and I think you are the same way. We jump when we are ready. xo Kim
