:+fav: A very simple cross with heart and roses detail. Made of copper wire and hammered for texture and strength. Also oxidized and polished to bring out details.

:star: I'm taking custom order for this cross pendant. It comes with a complimentary black suede cord. Genuine leather. If you'd rather not receive the bonus cord for some reason (maybe you're a vegan or have your own cord) let me know.

The original cross was made for my cousin as a gift :pray:

what gauge of wire do you use and how do you go about hammering it? I have tried to hammer my wire to no avail. This, as all your work, is extraordinary.

I think this was 18. Only hammer non coated wire (like solid copper or silver wire). the coating may be destroyed after a good while. You can burn off the coating or strip the wire prior wire wrapping but i wouldn't suggest that for artistic/colorful bead wire.

i put it over my steel block and hammer it with my regular ball peen hammer :)

brilliant--thank you so much for the advice! and yes, that coating is troublesome. half the time it rubs off just cause i used my pliers on the same spot twice!
