I've been taking my obsession for copper wire and glass to the next level these days. I started doing more free-formed wire work with dichroic accents. I love the looks of metal and glass together, so expect more wire work from me in the future. Some day my obsession will probably take me into enameling, since I'm drawn to the spiraling of color on enameled items. But, for now I'm happing with how things are progessing. I'm hoping to start soldering pieces together as soon as I can figure out how to match the color of the joint. If anyone has suggestions on soldering copper, I'd love any input. And, I'd love to know what you all think of my new creations.

I too am obsessed with copper wire and glass, I use a jewelers torch to solder it.
Thanks Poppy...I never thought about a jewelers torch. I'll have to look into that. I have a mini torch that I use on my pipe, but I thought that was too big for fine work. BTW...I just love your work! And, don't worry, I'll make a point of not doing anything too close to what you do :)
