• the copper wire is from my brother-in-law, who used to fix diesel generators for a living • to him, it’s scrap • to me, it’s YAY FREE WIRE
• many of the beads came home from Pennsic with my roommate • a talenti jar full of POSSIBILITIES
• there are also beads from my Aunt Ann • & from a friend named Elizabeth • also from Lioness Elise, Rose, & Perryn • thanks y’all!
• i found a bunch of the REALLY thick silvery wire in a field somewhere • not too far from the house? i think? • p sure it’s aluminum • this stuff is a PAIN to work with, i had to take my jewelry anvil outside & put it on the stack of plywood • hammering it on my desk made things jump around too much • including my desk • y’all this is NOT a lightweight piece of furniture
