New Copper Components

I've been so quiet this week, I think this is the first time in awhile I haven't posted all week. I've been very busy catching up after last weeks sale, it took me all week. A nice problem to have.

Here's a new Coptic Cross pair, this texture is amazing paired with this shape.

I made a pair of earrings with the components below

 that sold quickly during last weeks sale so I thought I'd make some available to you!

That's it for now, short and sweet!

New Shape

I had a special request to make a cross in this shape
 and I really love how it turned out.

 She wanted it in the Paisley and I should have made 2 with that texture

 because of course the one I made cracked.

 Just a small crack but it's big enough! 

I did make another in a different texture that I hope she likes.

I'll be making more of them because I really think they turned out so beautiful.

If anybody out there wants one just let me know and I'll make one just for you!!

They measure about 1.25" square.

PS, I can't seem to preview my blog posts before publishing anymore,

 anybody else have that problem?

 Know a solution?

PPS, thanks to everybody who purchased from me yesterday during the LMAJ Cyber Sale,

 I'm very happy with the results. Look forward to next time!

More Bead Soup

I couldn't stand it,

 I had to send my partner just one more piece so I can sleep at night.

 So I'm mailing it off today!!

I also wanted to share with you this special order piece that didn't survive firing.

 It's pretty cool anyway but I'll have to try again for sure!!

 I don't think I've ever had anything crack this bad.

BTW Copper Bowl

If it's Wednesday it must be Bead Table Wednesday!!!

Not a bead by any stretch but it is what I'm working on this morning, along with some amazing special order crosses and one other pair of earring components. I was afraid to fire anything along with the bowl so I chose just a couple of very large pieces and every thing survived beautifully!

I pulled them all out of the kiln early this morning and took the torch to them.

Here is that wonderful Copper Bowl, the first one I've made.

 Taken from the new Monster Ammonite Fossil I recently received.

Below are the crosses I've had on special order for a few weeks, I wasn't able to make them the size she requested until now, you guessed it....the Monster Ammonite Fossil did the trick. These beautiful crosses are over 1.5" long, I hope she's happy with them.

Another of the larger pieces I felt safe firing with the bowl, 3 hole drops made with one of my long time favorite textures I call Aztec Sun.

 Just because I think it's so cool,

 here are more pictures of the Copper Bowl.

Take a look at what my friends have in the works on this

 Bead Table Wednesday!
