Sweet Bead Studio Blog
Copper Component Blog Hop!
In the midst of winter, I’ve been transported back to a sunny summer’s day. How did I get so lucky? I jumped at Kristi Bowman’s challenge and joined her Copper Component Blog Hop! For Kristi’s blog hop, the participants chose to work with either her sea-inspired Urchin or Ammonite components. Kristi’s copper clay components are shaped and molded by hand and then fired – I love their rustic quality.
For my bracelet, I chose a handful of lampwork beads in colors of the sand and surf. A few of the beads are by Moon Stumpp, one from a set I’ve held on to for years…it was featured in SBS Wire in 2009 (yes, that WAS a long time ago!). To complement the seaside theme, I also added soft-colored Keshi pearls.
Stop by and see what the other participants have created – bet you’ll stay warm and you’ll be dreaming of summer time just like me!

Wow! Just gorgeous. The colors are fabulous together. What a beautiful job you did. And the focal reminds me of the impressions in the sand that are left behind after a wave draws back into the sea.
WOW!! What a gorgeous piece! Those colors together couldn’t be more perfect!
