Playing with Metal Sheet

I love working with sheet metal when I need a break with wire work. There is something about metal that intrigues me, a simple piece of it is so striking in jewelry.
Every now and then when my hands hurt from wire work I return to it.

Recently a lovely friend (thank you Deb) sent me some patterned copper sheet and I was inspired to return to metalwork. Then I couldn’t stop playing with it for several days.
