Vera's Bud Copper Bracelet

There's a kind of hope that shows up quiet, before anything's bloomed — that's the feeling I wanted in this one.

I twist three strands by hand, rose copper, silver, and gold, over and over until they hold their shape together. It's slow work. My fingers know the tension before my eyes do.

Copper's been worn against the skin for thousands of years, long before anyone thought to ask why. People who start wearing it tend to keep wearing it.

I hope this one finds its way to the right wrist, and that it feels like something just beginning.
