Wearable Art: Patina alchemy on multi-stranded recycled copper necklace

The moment I've been waiting for has arrived - a chance to showcase the mesmerizing spectrum of patinas achievable on copper.

My talented friend Julie from sweet-sparrow.com affectionately calls me an alchemist when I work with copper patinas, and there's a touch of truth in that. Copper holds a mystical quality; when working with repurposed and recycled copper, the possibilities are endless. You never know what lies within it, what vibrant colors will emerge when heat and chemicals come into play, or how time will gently reveal new hues as it forms a connection with its wearer. The process is akin to magic, and it's the very essence of joy in working with patinas on copper.
