Art Beads Winter Enchantment Design Partner Challenge - Copper Bangle

Found sometime for myself over the weekend and made a few new pieces. You know I had to make at least one bangle :) I used the beads I received from ArtBeads for the Design Partner Winter Enchantment challenge!!

I used 14 ga copper wire for the bangle
24 ga copper wire for the wrap wire
24 ga colored copper wire for the accent wrap
R-RQTZ-NUG11 - 5x11mm Irradiated Quartz Modulars *
TBRD6-288 - TOHO Bead Round 6/0 Colonial Grey-Line *
DRUKS-LS-TUR6 - Druk Bead 6mm Turquoise Luster *
R-WHAG-SQ12 - 12mm White Agate Square Bead Strand shipped *


This is a great dual purpose piece. The colors are a reminder of winter, but I see spring coming thru those colors as well.

What an awesome piece to make the season transition and be a daily wearer from December to April!!!
