All Copper Foiled

Two full days to get all the pieces copper foiled. A strip of very fine copper is wrapped around each piece, then burnished and finally trimmed. Technically you don't need to trim them, but with such small and intricately shaped glass pieces you can loose a lot of the shape and delicacy with bold lines. So I painstakingly under a large magnifying glass trim each piece with a razor blade to restore fine lines. The time spent was well worth it, he looks great having lost none of his character. When we finish him the copper will be lovely black lines and will stand out a treat. Next job soldering it all together.
