I Heart Macro Copper and Ammonite

Check out the amazing color in these copper pieces.
All done with a torch.
I broke out my 36mm extension tube for these photos.



These next couple of pictures are 2 new pyritized ammonite fossils
 I just added to my collection.
They are bigger than any of the ones I had before
 so I can create some larger pieces using this amazing texture!



Last, I had to take a super macro shot of my new makers mark.
This is unfired copper,
you know I'll be showing you a macro of some fired pieces soon.
One thing I learned about having a makers mark,
doesn't do much good if you keep forgetting to use it!!!
