Wind Spinners and garden art

Several years ago I was interested in garden art and wind spinners. I bought some from a store that had a fan and properly located lights. Later in the real world the wind doesn't spin them very well(Cheap fishing swivils) and the the light source needs to be behind the viewer.

I have been creating water features using soft copper foil and tubing. I don't like the color of solder and tried de-oxidized copper with a gas torch. The copper tubing melted before the rod. What success have others had with a color matching method of joining copper.
