Welcome to Kristi’s first blog hop! She made some of her beautiful copper components, and invited us to purchase one and come up with a design and then do a little bloggy hop to see what everyone made! I love her work, as she knows, so I was right on it. I picked the sea urchin style which is just gorgeous! I used her piece as a connector, front and center, and made the little copper clasp. Which I don’t like and will change… (hmmmm, I see a little pattern here).
I made some beads that I think go amazingly well with the copper piece she made. They bring out the colors in her piece, and her piece brings out the colors in my beads! A perfect combo!
Here’s my finished piece. I really like it, except for the copper clasp I made, as I mentioned. I was under a little time crunch because I have a show today that I am not ready for but I’ll definitely come up with a better clasp.
Here’s a list of everyone else who is participating – check out their blogs and see what they made! I will be visiting everyone’s blogs tomorrow, but may be a little late as I expect to be totally swamped with customers clamoring for my jewelry and other items at the show! LOL!
That's beautiful Sue, such warmth…makes me long for hot summer evenings…
Beautiful creation Sue, those glass beads are a fabulous compliment to the copper!! Thanks so much for joining my hop and good luck at your show!!
Your beads are a perfect fit for the copper focal. Good luck with your show.
Those beads are delicious! Beautiful design~
Not only are your bead colors gorgeous, but I can't help but imagine that bracelet on my wrist. It would have a satisfying weight, and you beads would move on the arm well, no twisting, jangling. Love it!
Sue your beads are just delicious with the Kristi component. I always love those colors and all of these copper hues together are wonderful. A great bracelet.

A gorgeous bracelet! I love the beautiful beads you made to showcase the focal. And really, I like the clasp since it lets the focal stand out, but maybe it could be a bit heftier….
Hi Sue…first, I hope you are having a great day at your show!
Your bracelet is so beautiful. I love that you made your own lampwork beads to complement Kristi's clay focal. ..those beads are just scrumptious! ๐

The beads go great with the pendant…good luck at your show!!
Sue your lampwork glass beads go beautifully with Kristi's sea urchin connector. You did an amazing job.
Very pretty. I think if you add a jump ring to the hole you can attach the hook to that. I love the beads you used.
