When I make jewelry for the store, I'm really attracted to color. I love the pop of color that gemstones add. Plus, color makes the jewelry stand out more when I'm photographing for an online store. The ICAP project is all copper, which has been giving me fits. I keep wanting to add color. So, my solution for adding color is fire. Specifically, my little butane torch. You know the kind that gourmet kitchen stores sell for making creme brulee? Yep. That one.
I cleared off my jewelry bench, and put down the big tile and the firebrick. I set the lovely, shiny copper 3s on the brick, like so.
Then I lightly torched them, just enough to make them turn colors. Most became a dark coppery orange, but a few turned purple and silver.
I hope this gives the 3 necklace some visual pop. Having everything be just copper was making me monochromatically nuts.
