Cute new Bracelet

Copper Patina Clasps

Etched Patina Copper

New enamel Beads and Links

I took Barbara Lewis enameling class at the Las Vegas Glass Expo. What a fun class. I came home and have been enameling every thing copper. Had a happy accident with some 30ga copper sheet metal. It was too thin for what I wanted to use it for. So I cut triangles and rolled on a mandril and added enamel. What do you think?

It was hard work on the hands as 30ga is stiff. But I think they came out cool. Next I made links for bracelets or necklaces.

Then I used glass decals for my enameled pendants and it work great.

Happy Easter! Getting ready for Glass Expo in Vegas

I plan on packing up my tools and clothes. Weds. we fly to Los Vegas for th Glass Craft and Bead Expo. I am taking 2 class with JC Herrell one is stringer controll and the next shaping and heat control.

New Faceted Copper Green Beads

These are so pretty. I am not going to etch them So I can't call them rustic, I need a new name?

Etched

This is what they look like etched!

New Rustic Beads

New sets of beads. I love the faceted shape as it's a little larger that I usually make. Got lots of great colors. Copper green was the base in most. Sky blue and opal yellow with z-99 special rose and two other reduction powder and frit make up these cuties. I will tumble etch today and show pictures after. Would love to hear your feedback on the etching.
