Announcement
I just wanted to say a very big thank you for all your support over the years. It's been a lot of fun, but I have had to take the difficult decision to close my otherworlds shop for the foreseeable future.

5 out of 5 starsSaffron's work is amazing, especially this squirrel on an acorn boat. I love all of her breathtaking creations. If only I were a millionaire I would have her brooches and sculptures all over everywhere!

Additional policies and FAQs
The type of wire I use is mainly enameled copper wire, not only is it colourful, permanent, vibrant and shiny and comes in an array of colours and gauges but has the bonus that the enamel coating protects the copper wire from tarnishing and will not fade over time.
I also use gold and silver plated copper wire and sterling silver wire, the type of wire I use will be clearly stated in the description.
CARING FOR COLOURED WIRE
cleaning coloured wire
I find the best way to clean my wire sculptures and jewelery is to use a soft brush like a paintbrush to carefully remove any dust and dirt. If a piece is in need of more attention after that I suggest using a damp soft cloth and carefully polish the piece. Coloured wire can be washed using water, however if the piece remains wet for a long time it will ruin the piece so never soak wire and dry the wire piece out immediately after washing.
Plated and sterling wire should not be cleaned in this way! There are various methods and products for cleaning plated and sterling wire that can be found by searching the web.
Shaping
The wire I use is often thin, normally 0.2mm and can easily be gently bent and curled back into shape if needed. However wire is delicate and repeated heavy bending and the like can damage a piece so do take care.
