Hey there,
some time ago I made an art installation using a plant as a capacitive sensor. I like it a lot because one could measure different sensor values at different position on the plant and map it to whatever (sound, light..).
I wonder now if I could have that effect with any copper object.
Lets say this lamp:

or
this table plate

what do I have to watch out for?
I guess not every copper is PURE copper? how do copper amount per kg of the object, it´s size, shape, corrusion possibly influence it´s usage as sensor?
what should I have in mind when aquiring a copper object for my purpose?
