INTRODUCING
Full line of hand oxidized pure copper and pure brass wire!
Lead free in several gauges for all of your creative needs.
This photo is an example of the pure brass 20 ga wire which I have hand oxidized.
Listing Description
Cheldena™ brass wire is hand antiqued by me in my studio.
The Brass wire I use is an alloy of copper and zinc and has a
beautiful golden hue when it is hand buffed. The wire is not
enameled or shiny and has a soft powdery coating called a
patina. The patina can be tailored to your tastes by hand
buffing with a scotchbrite pad that can be purchased from
your local hardware store. You control how light or dark
you want the finished piece.
Because the patina is delicate, some of it will rub off your
fingers while working with the wire. This is natural and to
be expected. Some people prefer to lightly buff or rinse
the wire before beginning their project.
I recommend either Renaissance wax or Permalac sealer
to seal your projects.
This gauge is perfect for making your own findings and is
the only gauge I recommend for earwires. It can be used
to wire-wrap beads if you're looking for a heavy chunky
look.
