This was some nice copper complex. I love it! I forgot the sketch pic, but I'll post it later tomorrow. It mostly came out as intended.

Tela, I love this one!

I just ordered some "stuff" and got a selection of silver and copper beads, so it was nice to see beads incorporated in this design.

I love how it appears you hammered the wire flat at the bail. That looks fantastic!

I wouldove just to sit in apprentice chair and watch you work for a few days. Are the beads just string or are they affixed somehow?

Thanks, Jason. I used to use a lot more beads. Sometimes, it's just what's needed.

Thanks! The beads are on an attached wire. They aren't going anywhere.

Look at you getting all fancy with the wire! Beautiful stone and beautiful wrap, Tela.
