Robert Simmons' Butterfly Tutorial Using Copper and Enamel

[Marcy]

Hey everyone,
With Robert's permission, I blogged about his Wearable Butterfly tutorial and provided a link to it.

Start here (http://studiomarcy.blogspot.com/2009/06/robert-simmons-wearable-butterfly-bead.html) to read about it and it will have a link.

Hope you'll share some with Beads of Courage too.

This is a great tutorial. Where can I get the copper foil?

Thanks Marcy for posting this tute. I loved the little heartwarming story on Dalton and the Nascar driver! I sure do love BoC!!! I was shocked at the number of kids (600) just in your neighborhood that are going to need beads and hearts... guess I better go fire up my torch now :)

Beth, you can get the copper foil at Michael's (just make sure it's the 100% copper one). Also, Glass Diversions has a slightly thicker one on her site.
