Everything you will find here has been created solely by me from copper wire, pipe, and sheeting. And as my shop name implies, my main medium is copper. From hand tooled copper art and ornaments, to copper jewelry, shawl pins, hair accessories, and items for your home. Being the oldest of seven children, we often didn't have a lot of money when I was growing up, so we made the majority of our gift
s. To this day, I would rather receive a hand crafted item, over anything purchased in a store! Some of my most treasured items are ones that were made by my parents, siblings, husband, and children. My hope is to help others give those same type of treasured gifts to someone they love! I discovered the art of copper tooling while searching for copper to do a punched picture at a local craft store. The owner didn't have the gauge of copper I needed, but he showed me a piece he had done with thinner copper, walked me through the process, and I have been hooked ever since! I cannot explain how incredibly rewarding it is to take a flat sheet of copper, copper wire, or copper pipe and transform it into a work of art. My latest creative obsession is flame painting! Even though my husband is a firefighter, playing with fire is soooo much fun, and the colors achievable with a torch and a lot of patience are nothing short of amazing!
