Feeling Left Out

It is so nice to go to Bead Soup and see all the wonderful packages. I found them too late to get into the swap.  I must admit I am jealous of seeing all the wonderful, creative packages. Hopefully I can get into the next one and join in with all the fun.

Offering Copper Patina

I have a friend that does roofing and he mentioned to me that he gets a lot of copper that he turns in for recycling when they remove flashing from a roof.  He offered me sheets of the copper which has patina.  My question is: Ideas on what I can do with roofing copper that has patina? It seems there must be something that I can do with it?  If you help me, I can send you some?

Wishing....

I am finding all these bead blogs and mutifiber blogs and I am wishing I had someone close by here that shares the same passion that I do about making things.  I am like a sponge, wanting to learn more and more.  I would love to learn to work with metal and copper, I would love to work with polymer clay and glass.  I have nothing but time on my hands now being retired.  Everything I have learned this far has been thru tutorials...videos and books. 

Oh my wish is to find someone to mentor me and go along this journey with me.....
