The “Not so fun” stuff

I love playing around with the different metal textures and seeing them show up in my jewelry. But I procrastinate with the “Not so fun” stuff. I don’t mind annealing each piece of copper because I like to hear the hiss when I quench the hot metal in water. But then I have to pickle and clean with Dawn detergent each piece. After I texture and add a patina to a piece; I have to file the corners, sand the edges and then wash them with Dawn again. I procrastinate about the filing and sanding part because it is my least favorite. So I spent the last two days filing, sanding and washing, ugh! Now I will put it off again until I have another pile ready to do.
