"Flamed" Copper Bracelet


I've been wanting to make a copper bracelet but was concerned about the solder joins showing. I wouldn't think of making a bracelet (copper or otherwise) without soldering the connections. In fact, I thought I had soldered all connections but missed one. As I was brushing the bracelet over the sink, it fell apart at the missed join (shock, horror)...copper is just too soft to not solder it. So here it is...and with the patina, the silver soldered joins do not show.
