A New Bangle Pattern Roller for My Rolling Mill!

I have to give my thanks to Deborah Read for posting this bangle pattern roller on her blog! I quickly ordered one from Otto Frei and got it a few days ago. It's a beauty with seven different patterns. Here's a photo:

I tried different gauges of copper wire and even tubing I had on hand and love the results! I'm not sure I tried all the patterns yet. The photo below shows what I've made so far. The wire on the right is 12 gauge ... I think I'll use it for earrings.

Finished Twisted Wire Bangles

This was definitely a fun project! I wanted to share some of my finished pieces.

These cuff bracelets below were made from 6 gauge copper and brass wire.

"Copper Looks Classy" Treasury

Copper is a great metal to work with and there are so many ways to use it. It's inexpensive, solders well, great for enameling, great for fold forming .... This Etsy treasury features copper pieces, including my necklace with entrapped turquoise in a copper wire frame.
