Firefighters at several town house buildings off Power Street in Copper Cliff approx 11:30 p.m. March 26.
Units in the complex were evacuated. Power Street at Regional Road 55, as well as Cobalt Street, were closed to traffic with Greater Sudbury Police roadblocks. Buses were in place to give people shelter while there was an evacuation order in place.
Fantastic remains of copper mining in Anglesey, well worth a visit. No charge!
There are the remains of a windpump and a Cornish engine house.
Made as a companion to the large copper leaf (see other pictures,) this smaller piece holds a birthday-cake candle.
The larger and smaller leaves are made from copper sheet, cut out with a hand-nibbler. The 'stem' is 3/8" copper tubing, flared at both ends. All parts annealed before working. Leaves formed by planishing with (very small) hammer and anvil, tube bent by hand.
The shadow just to the right of the candle flame is my earlier metal flower.

These earrings were made from a combination of copper sheet and copper wire. I cut the rounds out of sheet and the stems out of wire, then textured both with a hammer. Next is patina to bring out the depth of the texture and add some color/antique feeling.
I took this of the beautiful copper fairy that my friend Leslie got me. It has a miniature blown glass vase with pretty crystals and beads. It has a bees wax candle on it.

This is a good picture showing curved or radius copper gutters installed on this ocean front estate. Gutters are K-style gutters fashioned from copper and showing the natural reddish brown copper patina.
Copper and various bone beads. I made this ring to hold something else but it didn't work out so these are just variations on a theme
Friendly Freckles with a bunch of orange and copper things. Her hair photographs darker and orange-er than in real life.
Site specific solid copper fountain placed in the meditation garden of a retirement facility near Baltimore Md. The fountain itself is 80" high set in a stainless steel basin and equipped with a recirculating pump.
Copper mines
The entrance to the Bronze Age Copper Mine complex on the Great Orme
Large-scale human activity on the Great Orme began around 4,000 years ago during the Bronze Age with the opening of several copper mines. The copper ore malachite was mined using stones and bone tools.[16] It is estimated that up to 1,760 tonnes of copper was mined during the period.[17] The mine was most productive in the period between 1700BC and 1400BC, after which most of the readily accessible copper had been extracted. The site was so productive that by 1600BC, there were no other copper mines left open in Britain because they could not compete with the Great Orme.[18]
The mine was abandoned and evidence suggests it was not worked again until the late 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Mining began in the late 17th century due to the demand for copper and improved ability to pump water out of the mine. A steam engine was introduced in 1832 and ten years later an 822-metre long tunnel was mined at sea level to drain the deeper mine workings. Commercial-scale mining on the Great Orme ended in the 1850s, although small-scale mining continued until the mines were finally abandoned in 1881.[citation needed]
In 1987, the improvement of the derelict mine site was commissioned by the local council and Welsh Development Agency. The area was to be landscaped and turned into a car park. Since excavation began in 1987, over 5 miles (8.0 km) of prehistoric tunnels have been discovered. It is estimated that less than half of the prehistoric tunnels have been discovered so far.[according to whom?]
In April 1991 the Great Orme Mines site was opened to the public. Pathways and viewing platforms were constructed to give access to the surface excavations. In 1996 a bridge was erected over the top of Vivian's Shaft. The visitor centre's extension, built-in 2014, contains a selection of mining tools and bronze axes along with displays about life and death in the Bronze Age, mining and ancient metallurgy. Also accessible is the 3,500-year-old Great Cavern.
The Bluebird copper finding is from JoAnn Fabrics. I had a tough time trying to figure out what to do with it until it dawned on me to use it as part of the clasp.
