Another bracelet sneak peek.......

I haven't come up with a name for this beauty yet and it hasn't been listied because I'm still working on identifying the bead I used (yes, I know - you don't need to say it. WRITE IT DOWN!!) I've had this bead for over a year and had no idea what I was going to do with it. I think it works WONDERFULLY in this bracelet! This one was a lot of fun to make - especially after I realized that I could fuse the links instead of sodering them. It's crafted entirely in copper and, as I indicated, all the links are handmade as is the clasp.

I've also been working on some 'barrel' beads in silver and copper to use with - yup, you guessed it - some more bracelets. Stay tuned for more sneak peek pics!

Bracelets.......

I've been obsessed with bracelets lately. Don't ask my why but my fall line - slow coming out, I know - will be filled with them. In fact, it may be my entire fall line! Cuffs, bangles, charms.........here's a sneak peek:

Introducing "Relic".........a distressed, copper cuff. I've been working with copper quite a bit lately. It allows me to keep costs down for my customers but more than that, it's just plain fun! It seems to be my metal of choice this fall.

In other news, I'm finding that I REALLY need to spend some regularly scheduled, dedicated time at the bench. Inventory at Brazen Betties is waaaaaaayyyy down and I'm considering going into a second 'brick & mortar' so I need to step it up. So how do you guys 'work' your craft? I know that my friend Janice (Doxallo Designs - GORGEOUS work!!) has one night a week she's set aside for bench time. Do you catch the time as it comes up? A little bit each day? Or do you schedule in a day or two a week? Looking for tips to stay on schedule!

My copper obsession.......

I promised you photos of the new copper pendants so here they are:

I've already listed them in my etsy shop and will be listing them in my 1000Markets shop shortly.

I haven't yet created the pendant to match my ring but I have come up with a name for the series thanks to Stacie, a fellow SATeam member..........this will be my "Moonrock" series! Fitting, yes?
