More Copper and Glass Fibula Pins

As you all know, I don’t just make one thing. So, here are more pins. I am working on other designs but these are fast and quick to make. The others take more time.

Copper and Bead Fibula Pins

I always end up with extra beads from the jewelry I make. They are good beads but they usually end up in a bowl and never get touched again. I decided to use some of them up in these fibula pins.

These are all made out of copper wire.

Pink Copper Bracelet

Yep, another bracelet. I’ll probably be making a few more. I made a bunch of different bead sets for them and am just getting around to assembling them.

Enamel and Copper Tube Bracelet

I’m having a lot of fun playing with torch firing enamels onto copper. The enameled tube ends have been flared out using my rivet press. The other beads are tubing that I wrapped wire around. The ends are balled up copper and sterling silver. I was able to fuse the sterling silver onto the copper. It’s strung on thick brown leather with copper end caps.

Enamel Bead and Copper Bracelet

I quickly threw this bracelet together to see what it would look like. I should have used a thicker piece of copper and made it a bit longer. It didn’t have much texture to it so I added the raised dots. The beads are enameled by torch firing them.

This bracelet was fun and I’ll probably make a few more.

Another Bracelet

I found a piece of viking knit that I must have done a couple of years ago. So, it ended up in this bracelet. I’ve been trying to get some viking knit done all year but haven’t put a real effort into getting it done.

More Earrings And A Bracelet

I got several pieces enameled and used them for these earrings:

And still making tiny beads except not a pair of them. Just a random set of small beads. I made this bracelet out of some of them. I didn’t realize it would look so Halloween-y.

I was hoping it would be more red but not really dark red. Oh well….

New Pair Of Earrings

I finally got these done today. I had issues because the wire I used to attach the enameled pieces to the chain was a bit too thick. I’ll try them again (maybe) with thinner wire.

They are a dark red, it’s hard to tell. They dangle about  2 inches.

Enameled Earrings

I enameled these two disks last night and quickly threw these earrings together. I think they turned out kind of cute. The picture is deceiving. They are really tiny and petite.
