I'd love to make and wear more copper jewellery, but I never do because it makes my skin go green. Not a very attractive look!  :(

I know that a lot of you are using copper more and more so come on...are there any tips or tricks for stopping this from happening, or do I just have to put up with looking like the incredible hulk?  :D

I find Protectaclear especially useful if you've added a patina, as it doesn't darken the colour, unlike some spray on varnishes I tried.

Aah, thought there had to be a secret  ;) Thanks guys!

I was going to suggest the Renaissance wax too, but George beat me to it! (thanks George!)

Most seed beaders use beeswax but micro-crystalline wax is also Laura McCabes 'wax of choice' for her beading/bead embroidery thread.
