2019 Bead Peeps Big Reveal Swap & Hop

Its Show Time...  First of all a big thank you to our hostess: Linda Anderson: Linda Anderson  & her helper Kari Asbury. They always do such a great job... I could not even begin to do all the tech stuff.
  
 Here are my pieces that I made with Terri's fab stash !

My first piece a bracelet, I made with unglazed ceramic beads.  These reminded me of bits & pieces I saw in the ruins of Pompeii !

 

I repurposed a washer from a car part, added a chandelier crystal & some wire, then the beautiful dragonfly porcelain piece.

 

 

For this statement necklace I hammered a piece of copper sheet to make a background to highlight the ceramic bead dangles on wire Head Pins which  I made using chartreuse glass ... I  love making glass  head pins in my torch.

 

 

For this lovely wee hummingbird I picked a vintage sterling silver necklace (found in a thrift store) & let the bird be centre stage !!
 

I love making hammered copper wire pieces to be used as a pendant hanger !

 

 

 

Ear rings are always fun to make ! Such a clever idea feathers with dragonflys!!

 

Love, love these ear rings  Something so earthy about them!

 

Another funky hammered black wire pendant hanger.  This time with the wee birds nest, an egg & a turquoise dangle.  Terri sent the rosary chain which was a perfect match for the beads & black wire.

Here is what I sent Terri. I had lots of fun picking out her bundle of goodies.

Well.I thought they were on my computer but they are on my phone so I will have to figure out how to get them here.  But in the meantime  you can go to my Instagram account:  faymariew        & see them there.

Hoping this will work..
