Two earrings and a bracelet

Oh, I can't help it. How I love to make this kind of jewelry! It's fun fun fun. Like painting on a huuuge canvas (like I used to love to do when I was younger and not effected by MS). An expressionistic wild mix of bead types, seemingly randomly distributed, but no ... there is a slight pattern there ...

Not long ago I couldn't dream of using un-oxidized copper. Now I think it is awesome. Isn't that great. And beads that have been resting in my stash for years come to use finally. Like those copper bicones at each end. And the eye pins. The ear wires are a new purchase, hand made by MetalFuze on Etsy. Previously called Higher Chakra for any of you who like me have been missing her for a good while. I really really like her components.

Another pair of earrings on copper. This color combo is called Santa Fe by Americans if I am not mistaken. Anyway it is so YUM! All czech glass beads apart from the same copper components as in the earrings above.

I call this one Winter Solstice. Very pale and coolish. White facetted beads made out of resin. Speckled glass nuggets that I bought at my last visit to England in 2010, either in Leeds, YumYum Beads, or in York at the BeadHive. Copper daisy spacers. Copper toggle clasp.

Finally, I couldn't resist ordering a few of these ones today. From LimaBeads. I thought I had said I would do a big de-stash, and then focus on using up my current beads!?! IF I was going to buy new things it would be more findings stuff and such things, or any totally awesome Art Beads I would happen to come across, not any normal beads as such. What happened? The power of seduction I guess ... I am weak weak weak ... and I am quite happy about it :-)

How about you then? I wanna hear all about it!
