it's not what you think
hdr
do not judge me for how I exist....I wear the same clothes for days, my hair resembles einstein and all my bras are underwireless....I rarely have matching socks, tape shoes, glasses and purses together (adore painters' tape) and my hands and nails have that crack addict homeless mechanic look to them.
besides their appearance, many have been broken and are somewhat not working right, which matches my eye sight and body in general.
when I count out change at the 7-11 for coffee, sometimes the guy just says "take it."
so looking like an old bum has it's perks.

This is what my hands look like after I've been working with metal.
I've meant to ask, where do you sell your copper work. I help my cousin create iron pieces, yesterday I made around 150. He sells them at craft shows -
