Finally - something different!

Ah, thanks Di - I've seen them but didn't make the mental connection.

Here you go Anne, this one is soldered, but if you use fully hard wire, you can just wirework it. Hope the picture makes sense!

ooh, that's clever MizG

[Kalorlo]

Ooh, cunning.

Ooh, very nice George - thanks for the pics. I think I might give it a try at some point.

It's a week or so since I made my nice bright copper jens pind length - and it has now (of course) tarnished as it's been lying around in the air.

I've seen posts about using renaissance wax on copper to protect the shine and people's skin, and it turns out I actually have some in the house. Can I use this on chain maille? I presume that if I can, it is applied after the piece is made, but then how do you get it in all the crevices around the rings?

Don't know the answer to that one Anne, but just saw the thread, and think they're blummin' gorgeous!!!! :o)))

Thanks Sabine.

I've been searching out an answer to this an google through up this thread http://www.makingjewellery.com/forum...s.asp?TID=1575 Think I may give it a go.

If you do give it a go I'll be interested to hear how you get on with it.
