Copper Rose - Perfect for Valentines Day!
Intro: Copper Rose - Perfect for Valentines Day!
Hi all - first ever instructable, so be nice,
I made this pair of copper and silver steel roses for a friend of mine, and she absolutely loved them to bits (she's going on holiday, so I had to give them to her early). They're of my own design that took inspiration from some I saw on the net, and require basic metalworking skills and equipment to make - if I get enough requests/likes/favourites/however it works around here I'll go ahead and make a step by step. Unfortunately, it probably won't be up in time for the 14th, but they're lovely to give at any time of the year. Comments? Suggestions? I'll gladly listen. Also, if you liked this, please vote for it (or for my step-by-step, if I can get it done in time) in the Valentines competition.
Cheers,
S.

Having posted this on FunnyJunk to see what people thought, I think I'll go ahead and make a step-by-step in the next week.
Here's the guide

you can soak in as is, or throw the mixture in a crackpot - the heat accelerates the chemical reactions. It's a nice at home "pickle" for your copper.
