Bronze Bronze Everywhere

I have two juried shows the first two weekends of May.  I sold most of my metal components during my last sale.   So last week I was playing catch up, and making some components for jewelry. 

Here is the bronze clay in a couple different stages..................

My dear friend Lisa Peters also said she'd take some of my butterfly cuffs with her to Bead and Button.  I am so honored.  Here are some that I made, most are much smaller then the one in her bracelet, but not everyone likes massive jewelry like her and I.  They just need patina.



Here is the cuff I made for her, that she plans to wear.  Its a mix of her beads and mine.

So here are the two trays. I made lots of sets for earrings, lots of bracelet connectors (sprials, lichens and ammonites), some crazy sea urchins for necklaces, and bunches of winged things. 

Now I need to get crackin and make lots and lots of jewelry!  Tomorrow you can see the stash I got from Bead Fest Philly over the weekend, with all that, and my bronze, I should have plenty of new and exciting things to work with.  Wish me luck!
