I was on a copper kick last night and made 2 pairs of copper earrings. I love copper and Bali sterling silver made into one bead. Here is my first picture...waiting for camera to recharge so I can take a picture of the next pair.

Let me know what you think about the copper and Bali mix. Thanks for letting me share.







Edited for typos! Yikes...maybe the new forum tomorrow will have SPELL CHECK! :)

**UPDATED**

OK, here is the second pair I made, which I just took pictures of. Copper is interesting to try and photograph...seems to pick up each little mark or speckle. I did make my own jumprings here as I realized I didnt have any. SO I used head pins and cut them. If you look REAL close you can see a slight size different.

I like those! Very nice!!

I like them too!! I really like the copper and bali mix!!!

I do too. When I first read the title I thought "ugh. Copper & silver?" But I really do like the combination you have here. Might even inspire me to buy some copper beads! Haha!

These are absolutely gorgeous...I never knew they had this lovely combo! Since I am so nice to you Elizabeth I will send you my shipping address via email[:D]

Gah-copper and bali?That was my 1st thought,but I saw your name,so I clicked and took a peek.
As I expected,your excellent design skills have resulted in a gorgeous pair of earrings.Very nicely done-if should you accidently delete fenians' email,mine can be found in my profile,lol.
Whoa.....edited for typos-it must be contagious-and to add:
How long does that battery take to recharge?........we're on a deadline here!

fenian......well......NICE...DOES go along ways with me. :) I am sure I can find something to drool over on your site too. Maybe a swap? lol

Midden.........green light just came on the charger......that means I am ready to go. Look for the second pair in about 30 minutes! [:I]

Edited to fenian: Where in the heck IS your jewelry madaam? I was serious about a trade. :)

Awww..no site yet....You're a veteran at this Elizabeth..I just "started"...haven't sold a piece yet! But this does not bother me as I am honing my skills and building up an inventory that meets my standards...someday[sigh] .... here's a triple[bow][bow][bow] for all your gorgeous work..now about those earrings.....

Love the mix of metals...very stunning!

And, I'll take them off your hands if fenian changes her mind.

I laughed out loud about the deadline comment...trying to post as many as I can before it's too late!

love those copper and bali beads - wherever did you find them? they have resulted in a gorgeous pair of earrings (I am on my way ,as we speak, to stake out fenians mailbox...and maybe intercept the mailperson!) beautiful work, as always!

I love love love that first pair ... something about the silver pops against the copper, and i love the almost byzantine feel to them.

Beautiful work!
