I made a bunch of copper bead sticks a while ago along with the beads and am just getting around to assembling them. Here’s a few more.
The one on the left is made with 8 gauge copper wire and the right one is made with 6 gauge copper wire.
A Plainer Kokeshi Doll Pendant
I bought these glue in bails and end caps and decided to give them a try. While I like the pearls and dangles on other ones, this one is really simple. It’s a lot easier to put together too.
Bead Stick Pendant
This is one of the same cored and capped beads that I showed in a previous post. I made it up into a bead stick pendant.
It’s mostly copper with copper ball chain and sterling silver bead caps. I might have to make a few more of these.
Stamping Bead Caps
The designs on the sterling silver bead caps are made with metal stamps. It’s hard to tell the design because I stamped over some of the designs I previously stamped. I used liver of sulfur to darken it a bit so the design shows up better. The back bead has hammer textured copper bead caps.
Kokeshi Dolls Finally Made Into Pendants
Whew!! I got these done!! I posted the pictures of the beads before and here they are all done. Just in time for craft show season!!
One More Viking Knit Brangle
This is the last one. At least for a while. This one is also made out of copper. I still have to darken the copper a bit, then tumble it so it’s nice and shiny.
Pink Vessel
Okay, I copied. Or I tried to copy. I saw someone else’s vessel using what I thought were these colors and it was gorgeous so I thought I give it a try. Mine didn’t turn out the same, not even close. Back to the color board…..
Copper Viking Knit Brangle
Well, here’s another viking knit brangle made out of copper this time. These are fairly quick to make – after I get the beads made. I’m not sure if I’m going to blacken this one. It kind of looks good without darkening the copper.
Another Brass Viking Knit Brangle
Has anyone noticed that I can never make just one thing at a time? Guess I’ve moved on to bracelets. Last month it was hair sticks. Anyhoo, this is another brass viking knit brangle. This one has some beads added on the same wire as the viking knit. It’s a bit chunkier.
Brass Viking Knit Brangle
What’s a brangle? It’s a bangle/bracelet. Bangles are usually one piece. I made this using two pieces. They seem to fit a variety of wrists better than bangles do. I made the viking knit part out of brass, along with using brass wire and beads. I used some of the beads that I made in a previous post.
