Live in the Moment

You can find this piece in my Etsy shop. 

I tend to use mostly brass and copper wire in my designs and they both give my poor carpal tunnel riddled hands a run for my money but  since the price of sterling has gone through the roof, that is all I want to use. Is that crazy or what?
 I can't say what I sell the most of, no one has ever asked just for sterling, brass or copper. I think my customers just go for the overall design. How about you?
 What do you like using the most? Do your customers have a preference?
Just a reminder:
To all my very wonderful readers and new bead soup friends I would like to offer you a chance to win the March issue of Bead Trends magazine. All you have to do is stop by my facebook page,say hi and become a friend. I will pick a random winner on Tuesday morning.
Ok, dokey... see you in FB land.

  1. I can't believe what silver went up to today and I need to buy. Love the bracelet; that color is gorgeous. I just bought some beads and a cabochon that color - I sure hope they match.

    As for my customers, most seem to prefer silver although I have added accents of brass & copper. Personally, I love mixing metals in my designs.

  4. I actually prefer a mix, or all antiqued copper & brass. Most people I know like the silver...it's become so crazy expensive though!

    And the blue beads you used are gorgeous!!

  5. A gorgeous bracelet, and those beads are a lovely color.

    I mainly use sterling and Vintaj brass, but with silver going sky high I will be doing more with brass and copper.

  6. It's just gorgeous and I'm in love with the "beach glass". I don't have customers, but I have gravitated more toward brass lately just because of the cost. Amazing bracelet!
