Just a quick post to share "Butterfly Gardens" with you:

"Butterfly Gardens"

The inspiration for this necklace comes from these GORGEOUS artisan lampwork beads made by the fabulously talented Jennifer Jennings of http://www.blueseraphim.etsy.com/.  The blues, periwinkles and earth tones work perfectly with the etched copper butterfly and handmade bead caps.

I also made a sweet pair of earrings with the same beautiful beads, and I love the way they look with the necklace.

Hand-coiled copper wire links and wire-wrapped copper beads I picked up at Rings and Things' unbelievable bead show in Mesa complete the chain that closes with a handmade clasp.

You can find this summery set in my etsy store.

Have a fantastic rest of your long weekend!

WOW! I love what you did with those beads... they go so well with the copper and the etched butterfly.

So cool. Did you texture the butterfly yourself? I picked up a bunch of texturing plates at the last BeadFest and was amazed at how much fun it was. And very cathartic to pound the heck out of metal! :-)
