Brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc.
I don't have much experience with it myself. I did make one or the other piece, but my hands and wrists hated me for it, so I never got another spool of brass wire.
Luckily the other JAC members are not that shy about using brass, so I am able to present another Oldies but Goodies Challenge!
1 Jewelry Art by Dawn
2 Violetmoon's Corner
3 MC Stoneworks
4 Robin's Jewelry, Antiques, & Collectibles
5 RioRita

And again we outdid ourselves in this challenges.
ReplyDeleteTrue that! ;-)
DeleteI had the same kind of problems as you with brass wire, Cat. It's so springy.
ReplyDeleteHowever, JAC members never give up and look what pretty brass pieces they produced!
I wish I could say that I never give up .... but at least I used up the whole spool instead of adding it to my growing stash pile! :-D
