Wired New Creations!

I love wire wrapping in Copper, I love aging it to a beautiful vintage finish! This necklace turned out exactly how I like things to work! The mix of dark beads is a lovely contrast to the paler pendant and Everything just flows!
 Another piece I am really please with other than my silly wire! I thought I had gotten rid of all my coated copper wire, well, when I dipped it into the Liver of Sulfur bath I found out that I had not actually gotten rid of all of it! Darn it!! Thank goodness the whole necklace is made of the same wire, it looks like it was meant to be this way!
 It did not turn out that way for this necklace, so tell me honestly, can I get away with leaving it like this? I can't decide. I just know that I have no way of getting rid of the coating...
I am very pleased with this necklace, I just wish the wire would have darkened. I still think it would have looked so much better! Too late now! At least that wire got used up! Nothing left of it now! 
I will be working on magazine publications, new charms and Ocean inspired jewelry this week, lots of new things coming up on the horizon! Come again next week for the next post!!

I think all of these pieces are lovely. I actually don't mind the contrast between the bright copper and the darker chain. I think the bight copper picks up on the colours in the glass beads nicely.

I think your wire problem is just fine, because it's consistent with the wrapped beads. The darker chain totally could have been on purpose. I've always darkened my wire before I use it. But I have run into a similar problem with some components naturally aging while others stay bright & shiny (the necklace I'm wearing now in fact!) But again, it's consistent, so it doesn't look like an accident.

All your necklaces are beautiful :)

I agree! I love the contrast of the darker chain, and the lighter wire really makes the beads pop. All of these pieces are beautiful. :)

I think they're lovely just as they are.

They are all beautiful Miss Marie...the copper wire should darken on its own over time...usually not too long either...xox

I mix bright and antiqued copper wire in pieces on purpose, just because I like it that way. I think these are all gorgeous and I wouldn't change a thing!

I think these are lovely, the bright wire still works well.
I have accidentally gotten that coated wire,too..I've soaked it in nail polish remover but that coating it tough to get off..so i lightly burned the wire..but do this outside..the off gasing of that coating is funky
