Thrifting, Etching and Making ~ A Busy Week 10/22/15

Hi Friends~ Earlier this month, show season kicked off with a bang. From now through December, I have an event [or two] every week. Naturally, I have been in overdrive "making mode" working to create lots of new pieces. I have a few regular clients who come to all the shows and I like to have a few brand new things at every event.  

Below you see copper bead with stone bangles. Some assemblage with resin, wire stone wrapping and more.

Even a big batch of copper etching to get things going-

And let's not leave out a bit of stringing. I love the southwest vibe of turquoise and red coral together. 

Last but not least, I had the chance to hit the thrift store yesterday and came across these lovelies! I plan to get cutting on these today. 

I won't be cutting the cobalt blue bottle, that goes in my blue glass collection1

Not a bad haul- I've gotten more picky about the tins I buy now. I think these are going to be very cool, especially the limes and the ancient map tin.

So have a great week and if you are in my area, come see me at Grassfield HS this Saturday. More info can be found HERE!

Warm Regards,
Tammie
