A great day for etching

It warmed up today and it was a great day to etch. All summer I have had my etching "station" on the screened in porch off the kitchen. It has been a perfect place to etch, no fumes to deal with and closed off from critters. Since the weather has gotten a bit chilly, I had to move everything to the laundry room, but that stunk the house up too much, even with fans. Thankfully today was beautiful so I took the opportunity to etch like crazy on the porch. I suppose the winter station will have to be the garage. 

Here is one of the completed pieces. I used nickel silver and loved the result! You can find this piece in my Etsy shop. 

A month of Silver & Glass at Artbeads.com

I have created this necklace to celebrate ArtBeads.com month of silver and glass. They have oodles of great items to choose from and there always seems to be some great sale going on.

Right now you can get 50% off all their Czech glass beads. My favorites are the Picasso roundelles, they come in such a great array of colors. In this necklace I used the Salmon/Peridot Picasso roundelles and wrapped them in sterling along with tiny sterling handmade rolled beads by the Hill Tribe. A five petaled flower pendant is another one of the Hill Tribes handmade creations and is joined with a coral drop bead. All the sterling has been oxidized and buffed just a little to let some shine through.
Artbeads has all of their pendants on sale with 15% off, it sure is a great time to stock up, and as always U.S Shipping is always FREE and shipping to Canada only a buck! You gotta love that!

Fire Opal Picasso beads are used in these Holiday bling earrings. These beads catch the light so nicely and have great movement.
