I had pictures all ready to go last week and am not sure what happened...they ended up on Flickr, but I never got a post done...anywhoooo...
Here is my photo for today. Please note, I work in about 4 different places in my house. My actual bead table is so completely covered, it is scary! I have another space in the basement with my enamels and torches. So, today's photo is all laid out on the dining room table - MY FAV PLACE TO WORK!
Here you will see a copper component I just finished - it was a trial one I fell in love with in the latest SBS Wire, by Dia Daniels. It was going to be earrings, but it is just too honkin' big, so maybe a pendant. Also shown are 2 pairs of enameled tube-y/rice shaped brass components that have been wrapped in copper wire and have little Czech glass flowers dangling - sweet, no? There are also some very fun Czech glass beads I just got from Arte Bella that I want to incorporate somewhere.
So, last week I took this photo of a bunch of Valentine-themed things I was working on...still am!

So, what is on your table?
I know...lots of times, things get in the way of blogging and I loose track of time. I love that copper component! so cool...I'll have to check out the magazine again.
ReplyDeleteI can't even find my bead table right now. The copper component is just lovely. I looove czheck glass. I can see those pieces worked into what you have laid out.
ReplyDeleteTable is a mess right now!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, but I just ordered from Arta Bella yesterday, such pretty things she has!
Your creations and wirework are always beauties, I am lovin those reds!
Lots of pretties! I'm sure enjoying your productivity~ LOVE the Swirly earrings with carnelian.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, my goodness you are busy! No wonder you have work set out in 4 areas! Although you have many projects going, you have many completed as well! Yes those swirled wire/flower earrings are sweet, and I love the hammered copper earrings as well!
ReplyDeleteMy husband took the hint and bought me those awesome red/black bead copper earrings for Valentine's Day. I LOVE THEM! But of course you knew that, didn't you? Make some more and put them on Etsy. I guarantee someone else will love them as much as I do!
