I LOVE the way this copper bangle bracelet came out!  It's 3 Dutch knots - center one is larger - and on either side are long coiled beads that I made by twisting 18 gauge wire together with my drill then coiling it around a 10 gauge wire dowel. There is also a spacer on either side of the coiled beads.  They are all on a 12 gauge center wire and connect with a handcrafted clasp.  The patina is from one of the Vintaj Patina collections and was so easy & fun to apply :-)

Here is the 1st necklace and earrings I'm posting, this is one of my favorites so far.  I got the mauve enameled daisy from GardanneBeads on Etsy.  Anne is super nice and if you want something done custom she will do her best to make it for you.  The rest of the beads are just faceted glass beads in different shapes of amethyst, teal, and amber with round antique brass beads and all put together with 22 gauge antique brass art wire.
