Charm Necklace

Absolutely beautiful weather here in Central Oregon! Blue skies and cooler days, with a Fall nip to the air. I've been in and out of the studio, mostly out, but I have been drawing up new jewelry ideas and trying out some new things to get this business going. I learned something new on Tumblr and I already have a couple of new followers! Welcome!
Etsy has been messing with things again and it takes me a while to figure out what I'm doing, but the shop is up and running. I have also been looking at some other maker sites, Goodsmith for one.
Charm NecklaceI recently made a new necklace out of copper, brass and sterling silver. And I've made it so that you can 'build' it to suit you! I really like the concept and I enjoy making them as they won't all look alike :) These are just some of the options, I can always try and cut a piece to order if you have something specific in mind!

Woohoo!!!

I am so proud of myself! I finished up 11 jewelry projects that I had gotten frustrated with or had started and  just didn't finish. Tomorrow is photo day so I can get them listed.  Here's a preview of 3 pieces done today :)

Hammered Copper Cuff Bracelet

Brand new hammered copper bracelet made today. I hammered that baby out of reclaimed 6 gauge copper wire with a 2.5 pound mallet on a chunk of rail. Then I hammered it some more to texture it and then some more to shape and harden it! My bracelet mandrel has been getting a work out lately :) I have two more blanks finished but they are just going to have wait as my arm is getting sore from all the hammering, lol! I do love the way it turned out though.

I think I might just do some bending and wrapping later today. More hammering tomorrow :) Blessed Be.

Shop Overhaul

I've been spending the last couple of days taking pictures and writing descriptions of my new listings for Etsy. I'm very pleased with the overall results. I also retook photos of old listings and updated them, I even went so far as to revamp my Policies and finished my About page! Go take a look! It's CopperHammerStudio.etsy.com, I think you'll like what you see :)

Here are some of the new items! I love them :)

New Shop Name

Since I like to work with metals I decided to let my shop reflect that and since most of it is hammered, well, it just made sense. Here's a sneak peek at whats coming to my shop. I hope you like them :)
