Purple Chick aka Violet says:LOVE this design , Sue !!!!!!
I too love working with bronze…. it gets a lovely patina after a while too, or
it can be polished to it’s original color… I like it both ways depending on the piece …..

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Thank you, my lovely friends!
Violet, the wire is actually color coated copper, so it won’t patina – and I’m glad!
Hey K H, did you also notice I had to make my own earwires? Cuz there aren’t any available in this marvelous bronze!
Cookie, when I found the burgandy wire, I thought of you, my friend!
