Bold Copper Components



Large Sea Urchin Free Form Pendant



Large Freeform Sea Urchin Pendant, a happy accident.

 I was rolling out the clay to make little flowers

 and this Freeform Pendant just screamed at me, so I went with it.

Heart Flower Drop

I've made drops in this texture before but I extended and re-shaped these a bit.

Very elegant!

Now for a couple of not so bold choices

Tiny Sea Urchin Flowers

Scroll Diamond shape pair

Thank you!

Art Bead Scene December Challenge

Here is my entry in to the December Challenge at the Art Bead Scene Blog.

As soon as I saw the inspiration I knew I wanted to use this Dragon Fly pendant. This was a hand me down piece in a bag of destash I purchased a few years ago and he came to me with this gorgeous green patina. I considered Enameling him but couldn't bring myself to touch his naturalness.

The accompanying necklace has lampwork by Kelley's Beads, lovely faceted orange Carnelian Nuggets, green Freshwater Pearls, fun wood rectangles, antique brass chain and a handmade Copper clasp.

Special order Vintage Drop Pendant

After a rather trying week of health issues and car break downs I finally managed to get this special order pendant made for my very patient buyer.

It is a variation on a pair of earrings I have listed on Etsy I call Vintage Drops

I took the texture out just a little further to make the pendant bigger than the earrings and give it a lovely scalloped edge I really like.




She requested that it not be domed like the earrings and also that it have a fairly substantial bail so that it could be put on a large variety of necklaces and wires. With such a large bail to play with I decided to string it on a random assortment of bead strands that struck my fancy on this gorgeous day.



Here it is on a very neutral set of Jasper rounds.



Here I've strung a beautiful set of Faceted Mookaite through the bail.




Then I went for beautiful Green Turquoise rounds.




And last but not least colorful Faceted Poppy Jasper rounds.

I had fun photograghing this piece and I hope it's new owner is happy with it.
