My Little Metal Shop

  • I had a very hard time finding a place where I could buy copper here in Mexico. My Mom would buy it for me in the US and slowly ship it down to me. It was a mess. She would be sooooooooooo slow in shipping. I had to basically "nag" her to death before she would ship! haha, (hope she doesn't see this) haha, anyway, I finally found a place and I was pleasantly pleased! It has 5 types of metal. Nickle Silver, Bronze, Brass, Black Bronze (it is a neat metal), and of course Copper. I have pictures of it here http://www.laurabrito.com/lbstudio. It is a hole in the wall joint, tiny, and full of things, the owner lets me go all the way in (usually he does not) and poke around. I found really cool things, like domed copper, but not like what I find in the USA but actual really domed like 1/2 of a orange! Anyway, besides having some interesting things, they even are cheaper! I am in copper heavy at this point. It was so expensive for me before and we really had a tough time getting copper for the workshop. So this is such a blessing.
