Sharllyn, I'm so excited to have come across you first of all, then your books and videos. My husband and I are starting a business, CreationsByTwo. I have been working with silver and G.F. Then a good friend gave us a bunch of copper. Rolls of copper and box's full. He came across it from his job...they were going to throw it away. I have much to learn, but have been making neat designs just of our own. I will take all the info. on copper I can get. What is the best way to fuse copper. T.Y.
