BTW August 10 11

This is the piece I was working on for the Inspired by Lillies challenge but once again I didn't get it finished in time, heck it still isn't finished. But I love what I did so far and I will finish it.
Just too much going on right now YIKES!!!

It's got 2 Copper 3 hole connectors I made with a very pretty and subtle lilly design on them, a wonderful variety of orange beads, lampwork, fire agate, jade plus wonderful bronze and gold colors from Czech Glass Beads. I plan on making my own copper connectors and probably using some kind of cording or silk to finish it.

Almost ready for the kiln and some beads too

Still a little bit of cleaning up to do on all these new copper pieces but I'm close, I've been working all week on these. My goal is to have the kiln going by the time I go to bed tonight. I'm doing some re-stocking of favorites plus lots of new. Some large pendants in this batch and the pieces I plan to use in the
 Inspired by Tiger Lillies challenge.

I also purchased some very cool wood and other beads at JoAnn fabrics, see them at the end of this post.

New Large pendants.

A new texture I'm really loving, you'll see more of it!

Stained Glass texture in a new design.

My inspired by Tiger Lillies Pieces.

Beads from Joann, look at those great shapes in the wood beads
 and the faceted "stone" looks like turquoise but marked as stone
 and way too expensive but I couldn't resist it. The polished stone at the bottom
is no slacker either, I think it's Jasper of some kind.

Oh ya!!

So please check back throughout the weekend

 and I'll be listing lots of this new Copper in my Etsy Shop
