Beads

Look at what I got!--Went to a bead show in Louisville last week and scooped up a beautiful bunch of beads. Luscious beads, colorful, yummy beads.

Hope all of you Moms are having a lovely Mother's Day. My son and daughter-in-law cooked a lovely brunch for me and DIL's Mom. We dined on omelette's,sausages, bacon,homemade waffles with fruit and whipped cream and her Mom's homemade bread.
A wonderful feast for Mother's Day. Spending time with a loving family is the best way to celebrate anything. Thanks Jason and Stacy, Paige and Tyler....I LOVE YOU ALL.

Project # 2 Of Deryn's Challenge

I had a blast making these! I used flame colored copper, then I crimped it and folded it. Copper wire was used for the wrap and copper beads are hanging inside. The brass rose beads on the top are from some old, old jewelry that I had in my stash. I made the ear wires from GF 21 Ga wire. After I assembled everything I decided the folded copper would look better if I filed the high spots of the crimps and polished them a bit.

I like the aged look that they have.
