More Projects and Happy Veteran's Day!

I had to add music today.  Have you heard this song "Fireflies"?  I love it!  Listen for a bit.

Have I told you lately how much I love copper?  Here's proof.

 

The pins got their bath in the liver of sulfur.

If anyone knows where I can find a pin tutorial online I would greatly appreciate it.  I've been looking for Veronique and I can't find one anywhere.

And I tried to take another picture of the banana/peach slice.  If you are wondering what this is about then check the blog post from yesterday. 

All of this beautiful beadiness will be put into the Bei Mondi Etsy shop soon.

Enjoy your Veteran's Day!  We are so proud of the Veterans that have risked their lives to make ours better!

The Creation of Something New

Mommy Dearest has been after me for some time to create some pins.  Mom says that scarfs are really big this year and she needs something to hold those scarfs on, something creative.  I guess that's where I come in.  I've never made pins before but I can tell you that once you start they are super addicting.  Quick and fun, my kind of craft!  And I'm a huge fan of scarves (you should see my closet).  So here's the first attempt at being creative.

I guess I will call these mini pins since the one on the far right is not even 2 inches long.  I will probably oxidize the copper ones and leave the brass one as is.  What do think?  Sharilyn Miller shows how to make these in several of her books.  Super easy, super cute!  Can't beat that!

And here's some earrings I made recently.  Hammered copper with sweet little faces.  I'll throw these into the Bei Mondi Etsy shop later.

Enjoy your weekend friends!  :)
