Crafted in Copper

Several times each day I am awed by the tremendous talent and creativity on Etsy. Today's find, Thumbelina Creations, has some truly sweet jewelry. My favorite pieces are those made from copper, but you can find plenty of non-copper beauties there too.


Turquoise and Copper Dragonfly Set, $15



Copper Spring Earrings, $8



Copper Necklace, $12

The Ultimate Blog Party 2008 Prize from Lucky Girl!




This fused glass pendant is the prize from Lucky Girl for the Ultimate Blog Party 2008. I made it with a beautiful coppery orange dichroic glass with bits of white. It's been wrapped in niobium that I anodized to a pretty medium green color. If you haven't already, head on over to 5 Minutes for Mom--our awesome party hostess--to get the details for the prize giveaways and check out the party prize list.

To celebrate this blog party, I'm also offering free shipping on orders from either my Etsy shop, and I also have an eBay store all week long! Put "Blog Party" in the notes to seller if you shop on Etsy, or use the Ask Seller a Question feature if you shop on eBay. I'll send you a no-shipping invoice before you check out, or if you're in a hurry, I'll refund your shipping charge.

Party on!

Yaslani

I love finding good luck symbols when I'm not specifically looking for them, and the Moonlight piece below with its lucky trunk-up elephant is my favorite find today. There are a lot of good luck symbols scattered throughout Yaslani, so browse a bit and you're sure to find something. I've included photos of only a few mixed media pieces here, but Yaslani also makes an amazing variety of bamboo pendants at very affordable prices.


Moonlight, 4x4 Mixed Media, $20


Citywalk, 4x6 Mixed Media, $25


Monkey Tree, 4x4 Mixed Media, $20
