Nice to see the copper

Nice to see the copper turning into art.

You know Susan, when they gave us our first metal project back in 7th grade shop, it was an aluminum pendant (actually a punch press knockout but we only got 1 - 1.5 inch dia piece to work with, little direction and no practice.

No discussion of design, no discussion of forming possiblities, cut out sections, textures, . . .

Mine came out pretty ugly . .

Never had an art teacher, let alone a jewelery prof.

Dallas has some
Lucky kids.
