Last fall I purchased some amazing copper findings (among other things) at the
Fraser Valley Bead Show, in Langley, British Columbia. Despite good intentions, I haven't used them yet. From time to time I take them out... to admire, but quickly put them away. Incorporating copper into one of my designs has proven to be challenging.... I tend to gravitate towards all things silver!
So I thought, GREAT! for my first project I'll finally use those copper findings!
I have made 2 sets of lampwork glass beads, using light apple green and cosmic storm glass, and multicolour crushed glass (frit).
Today I picked out some coordinating Swarovski crystals and seed beads to use in my design. Let the fun begin!
oh, i LOVE these colours. And the 'Cosmic Storm' glass looks really cool!
ReplyDeleteYaay! Your first day, and you're off to a great start!
I am so impressed that you make your own beads. Maybe that sounds silly, but I've always been more of a buy-the-beads kind of girl.
