Folded Copper Pendant

Just playing with the 24 gauge copper sheeting and folding it and dapping it until the little raised areas started to break away from the pendant but were still firmly attached.  Then I carefully raised them a bit for more texture.  I should call it 'The Hanging Chads' necklace!!  More beads from Beth Singleton.  I have so enjoyed working with them.

Heavy Metals Necklace

This was a beadsoup mix put together with a modified netting stitch. It was very easy and fairly fast to make. I can't do the colors of these iris beads justice though with my photographs.

Jasper Rosary Bracelet

These are my very first saw-cut rings and while it was pretty difficult to do, I like the result, and I think that practice will most definitely help. The beads are 8mm green jasper, and I think they are just lovely with the copper, which will get a patina soon and look better.

Beaded Byzantine Bracelet and Earrings

I'm home from yet another class from Star's Beads and this time I made a Byzantine bracelet and earrings from 18 gauge sterling silver jump rings. It was great fun and the bracelet wears beautifully. A glass donut ring was used in place of double jump rings for this particular variation!
