This month on Bead Trends I have a little necklace called "Woodland Path" which I made with my own etched copper owl focal. I also used one of my little etched lampwork acorns in the necklace. This issue is filled with wonderful inspirational designs. My friend Cherrie Fick has a beautiful bracelet called "Love Birds" on page 94-95 and I'd like to send out a congratulations to Amanda Austin who made it on the cover, beautiful bracelet. There is also a wonderful article by Lori Anderson called "Jewel School" with lots of information on stringing.
Now that the tourist season has died down, I had some time to take pictures of some of the jewelry I made for the studio and post it on
Gentle Wind Designs on Etsy. Lots of pictures today!
WOODLAND PATH - Page 80-81
These are all made with my etched plates.
The next two pieces are crochet bracelet/necklaces. These are so much fun to make.
Enjoy your day,
Raida

ReplyDeleteWow! You have created very beautiful designs. I love copper, and I love owls, so naturally I LOVED your Woodland Owl necklace! I have "Copper Harbor" earrings in this Bead Trends issue on pg 46. Lori's article was great. Lot's of good ideas.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful collection. I like the natural feel and very organic shapes. Very good picture composition too. I am learning that and it is not easy.
