Butterlfy Takes Flight

So this morning I took about 2 hours to design and create this butterfly. Made with copper and white pearl looking beads. Hammering isn't as hard as I thought it was going to be but then I wasn't too sure when the stop. I am satisfied the butterfly is hammered enough.

This is one piece of copper twisted to form the butterfly.  I will put a pin attachment on the back and then it will be finished product. It is the first one I make so keep an eye out for more designs in the coming months...this stuff is addictive and hammering is therapeutic.*wink wink*





*All copper base is recycled copper left over from renovations in progress*
