I was also taught how to dimple the flattened wire. Once the texturizing was done, we used a patina solution to dip the project. I had always used liver of sulphur, so using this liquid was like magic. Then it was on to polishing. Polish, polish, polish! Then a few minutes in the tumbler gave my new jewelry an awesome shine!
I was also able to create a pair of earrings to go along with the bracelet. I can't wait to take the advanced fusing class with a larger gauge wire and drilling. Next semester they are also teaching soldering.

Hmm, I'd like to know the difference between fusing vs. soldering too. I've soldered plenty, but have not fused. I have an empty torch, but haven't braved it yet. Soldering is a very quick job if you have your flame high enough.
