Enuff with the copper already!!!!

I am hooked on copper, orange and blue right now - I can't get enuff!! Most of my designs seem to be taking that turn as well :)

I did these this morning before work. The glass is side drilled and they are a good size. I bought them because of the color and then became intimidated by their size. I ran across them while rummaging thru my pack and thought it was time to try and work them into a design.

One of the ways I get the free form ideas (altho i guess they wouldn't be free form at that point) is I lay the bead on a piece of paper and doodle around it. It allows me to find a 'flow' around the bead, and it also helps to give me a visual - or a reference while I am working.

I love this one - that blue is so bright - it looks like it is lit up! Is like a little blue lantern



All shades of blue!!!! Funky, chic, clunky design. I may have to keep this one.....



You know me and random :)

Have a great weekend kids - am gonna be a the market all weekend wish me luck!!!

Copper and dyed crazy lace agate pendant

If I had to choose just one thing to make, it would be pendants. As much as I love the big bulky necklaces, I have the best time making pendants.

Blue dyed lace agate coin is the focal and I have added in the wraps, a fresh water pearl, citrine, lepidolite, crystals and a jasper fan. This one is all about harmony and balance.



Leigh says it reminds her of a treasure hunt, or an artifact from something like an Indiana Jones movie. What does it remind you of?
