I've had better weeks.  But how many people can go home, raid their stash of beads and give themselves an (almost) instant pick-me-up with a new piece of jewellery?  This is what I made to cheer myself up, whilst vegging out in front of the telly last night.  It was my first attempt with bronze wire, and I find the colour pleasing - very like copper, but not so pink/orange.  It wasn't my first play with wire this week - I finished a necklace made with some of my Farnham-purchased labradorite too, which gave me the chance to beat up some wire leaves with my hammers, and oxidise them too - the rotten-egg stench of liver of sulphur is only just worth the lovely aged result!  (Hubby is standing behind me reading over my shoulder, and assures me the smell is NOT worth it.  The cheek.)
