Next, and last, in the process of preparing for firing, was copper wire. I had a brainwave and twisted two strands around each other for extra thickness and then around a pencil, spring-style.
Then I flattened the spring like this,
and wrapped it around the piece like a belt, like this.
This piece, as you see, had only a few curls.
I hoped that the end result would be a wide swath of red, which I've achieved in the past. It wasn't, but it was pretty cool, not to say unexpected. You will have to wait and see.
