Fire 'er up!

Since my website design skills didn't work as desired, I've decided to set up a blog to share my torchwork and earrings from Moonwyn Designs.
I have been working with copper for about eight years, first with acid and then with enameled glass. The rolled copper, though, is a new experiment. The great thing about working with fire, copper, and glass is that they are unpredictable. The colors change by proximity, temperature, and supplies. I am learning how to monitor the variables in producing my earrings so I can reproduce colors and results, but I also revel in my mistakes and where they lead me.
I thoroughly enjoyed my first craft fair and the feedback and requests are leading me to new designs and creations. A BIG THANKS to the lady who suggested I create pins with my botanical designs. I'm refining them now and hope to have them at the Ink People Fair in November.
Time to burn!
