Copper Lace
It was a happy day when I discovered this amazing copper lace. I had not seen it before and I found it profoundly magical! It is a natural element that grows between other rock formations in areas where copper is found. It looks amazingly organic, almost botanical. I chose black wire to best show off it's natural coloring.
I couldn't just pick up one, but bought a fistful. Now I am contemplating how else to show them off.

Spring! Hurry up!
This was so fun to make.
Started with a length of ribbon a little longer than the circumference of my wrist.
This is an embroidered ribbon, looks like it was made on an embroidery type sewing machine, inexpensive, a little over a dollar for a roll. You can buy the whole thing with no need to have it measured.
I used seed beads in a mix of greens, and pinks mostly size 11s, Then i added glass leaves and blossoms in pink and green as well. A loop on one end will fit over one of three blossoms on the opposite end giving you a closure to fit three sizes. A couple of hours on three evenings and it was done.
I love spring and have been celebrating it's inevitable entry into this year since, well, last year, solstice!!

Wrist Critter
This is a flirty little bracelet that reminds me of a friendly pet you wear around your wrist. A caterpillar or "woolly worm" perhaps.
