New Etsy Shop
This year is my 7th year as a craftsman. Since last year I have been developing the skills needed to make flame painted copper jewelry. All the colors come from the small but very hot flame from a small torch using propane and oxygen. You can control the color to some degree, but other factors such as humidity, copper thickness and size and your function on that particular day come into play.
I make a lot of smaller items such as earrings, pins and pendants and am developing some larger unique pieces. Having said that, every design, large or small has unique features about it. No two are the same. Earrings are not 100% exact copies but are close enough that they look closely related.
Since each piece is an original, each one is photographed and you will find them in my new Etsy Shop, Copper Designs By Fiona at
Ear Cuff Designs in 14K Rose Gold
I have added some new designs that are made of 14K Rose Gold Filled Wire and beads. The gold does not flake off and has a soft pink color to it. Some designs are even tri-colored, Sterling silver, 14K yellow and rose gold. Take a look at

Free Shipping and Discounts on Everything
As I write this, in Southeastern Pennsylvania we are heading into week 4 of our required social distancing as we endeavor to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus. My craft show events have been cancelled for the immediate future and who knows how long that will last.
Selling ear cuffs in particular you have to get 'up close and personal' with every customer, especially since they like to try them on. As a fellow crafter friend of mine said, "It's not like you can sit at the back your booth and just should out features about what you sell!"
"The ear cuffs are really comfortable!"
"Yes, they are adjustable!"
"Would you like to join my mailing list? It's over there ....."
"Yes, I DO need a haircut!"
For all our sakes, let's hope this rectifies itself by the second half of this year (although that may be wishful thinking). In the meantime, I am creating some Great Discounts and offering Free Shipping. Easter is around the corner and then comes Mother's Day, along with birthdays and "I'm Worth It!" days. So help support the handmade crafters and buy American and local. We sure will appreciate it.
