When my husband and I redid our kitchen 5 years ago, we had allot of scrap copper. We thought it would be a waste to just throw it away. I had already been making jewelry, so I had many ideas. My husband said he wanted to help me. So we started working together. He learned how to cut, color, and shape the copper into some really cool designs. So now that's our main material in the jewelry we make today. And it's fun to have my partner in life, be my partner in making jewelry.
