Kicking it up with Copper

We've been spending more time making jewelry and traveling for beads, findings & metals.  I got a little behind reporting our whereabouts.  So now is the time for a catchup.

One of our latest obsessions has been with copper.  It's such a warm color & looks so good when paired with sterling silver and black.  We've been indulging in leaves dipped in copper.  The balance of an organic leaf juxtaposes well with the lines from the chain and Swarovski crystal.
We've kept this pair simple with a smaller Swarovski crystal and Bali bead.
We still have to make earrings for this wonderful necklace.  We just got the copper mesh "beads" in Alexandria.  It's held together around your neck with a double wrap of moire ribbon for a softer, more feminine feel.

Luna loves her some copper!
