In mid March, Rings & Things had a design challenge contest and for 15 lucky participants, these beautiful, satin-finished copper beads were the prize.
Guess what? I was one of the lucky participants chosen to receive a packet of these beauties! I love copper and texture, so I was in hog heaven when I opened my package! I've had a great time creating and now it's time to share some pictures.
For the first piece, I used the two 27mm, oval copper beads. These beads are gorgeous, with wonderful texture, but still have a shinny finish.
For the necklace below, I dapped a couple of the striped disks to make bead caps. Throughout the necklace I used some of the satin-finished copper rounds and wavy disks.
For the ring pictured below, I used one of the lovely, copper puffed flower beads, with one of the striped disks for the base.
I have a couple more designs in the works and will post those pictures this next week.
Thanks for stopping by!
