I have been focusing most of my energy on these cell like patterns. I construct the cells out of copper wire and then cover it in resin and paint. So far they are turning into rings, earrings, and bracelets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metalwerx.com\/blog\/Fabbri_Melissa_Blog.JPG\" width=\"523\" height=\"523\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">July 17th 2013:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Studz 4 dayz!
