Destash of sorts

Today I'm going through the bags of Copper pieces I have already made. I made a ton of pieces for the Whole Bead Show I did last year in New York and still have lots left. I love creating so I just went on creating new stuff when I have so much all ready to go. So this weekend I'll be creating some new but I'm going to focus on listing from my stash!

Here are a few of the pieces I've got listed.

LOTS more to come!!

Some are in my Etsy store and some are on my Website
 Links below in my signature!
If you purchase from both shops I will refund the extra shipping.

Spikes

Bronze Age Spike Earrings

I'm having a love affair with these amazing rough crystal points!

Above I combined these beautiful lampwork beads with a very subtle scroll design with Bronze Coated Crystal Points from

The Artisan Bead Company

Aurora Borealis Spike Earrings

The next day I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about these. I recently received these amazing Lampwork Beads from BeadFairy and I knew I had these AB Coated Crystals in my stash that would be the perfect match. I actually resisted getting up in the middle of the night to make them but I did make them as soon as I got up!

Now I'm digging through my work table to see what other crystals I have hiding that I might be able to put together more of these cool earrings!

Step by Step Copper Yosemite Acorn Bead

This is my Art Jewelry Elements post today.

I picked up a bunch of these Acorns while visiting Yosemite recently.

Originally I only considered making a mold of the top portion and making it in Copper,

then I decided why not make the whole bead!

So that's what I did.

Earring Palooza!!

I'm so busy creating components I don't often take enough time out to create jewelry.

 I love using other artists glass and ceramic creations combined with my own,

 I also love combing the work of other artists without including my own.

 There's so much amazing stuff out there!!

Yesterday I decided I was going to focus mainly on creating earrings,

 I had so much fun and I'm tickled with the results.

I had so much fun I might try to create a few today

 in between making another batch of components.

I Heart Macro Copper and Ammonite

Check out the amazing color in these copper pieces.

All done with a torch.

I broke out my 36mm extension tube for these photos.

These next couple of pictures are 2 new pyritized ammonite fossils

 I just added to my collection.

They are bigger than any of the ones I had before

 so I can create some larger pieces using this amazing texture!

Last, I had to take a super macro shot of my new makers mark.

This is unfired copper,

you know I'll be showing you a macro of some fired pieces soon.

One thing I learned about having a makers mark,

doesn't do much good if you keep forgetting to use it!!!
