"Ravin"
About this design:
I named this after our very own "Vampire Chicky Ravin." When I was all finished with it and trying to think of a name you popped into my head. So, "Vampire Chicky" if you don't mind it will be named Ravin.
Such a fun bracelet. It's a combo of a cuff, chain, and charm bracelet. It has a great tinkling sound when you wear it. I thought it would be really fun to add small charms to the chain.
Components:
1/4 & 1/2" copper tubing, copper washers, copper chain, copper jump rings, copper charm. Used Ammonia to antique it.Additional Images:

Eeka Mouse says:Did you make a fume chamber to antique the Cu with ammonia, or did you just swab on the liquid?

Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:Oh, I think I missed this! How cool! How did you get the tubing so thin? That is amazing! The ammonia really changes the whole look of the process… really incredible!
