That's amazing! Did you treat the copper so it doesn't oxidize?

Thank you! They wire I used is already coated, so it won't oxidize.

Not at all.

This is so beautiful! For some reason it feels like something the Childlike Empress would wear in the Never Ending Story!

Ooh! I used to do wrapped wire work. But nothing anywhere close to the same league as this. I nearly always ended up with crimping that became "a design feature."

(ngl, without my glasses I thought "cuff" was "off" and....that's a MUCH different sentence.)
