BRONZE is more Copper than I knew
I created "Indestructible" using three strands of JPL using square-wire jump rings of brass, bronze, and stainless steel. I attached the tri-metal strands to single, "catch" strands of stainless steel to go around the wearer's neck, just on the off-chance that the bonze would react with the wearer's skin as copper often does for some people. I really hadn't anticipated a perfect storm -- the juxtaposition of a pre-teener's skin, a tank top, and a very humid summer's day near Lake Erie. Evidently, under certain circumstances, bronze can turn the wearer's skin green. I will certainly keep that in mind for future reference. In the meantime, I will be replacing "Indestructible #1" with "Indestructible #2," to be woven entirely of stainless steel rings!
