I was chosen by Random.com to be one of the recipients of the beads for the Sun & Sea challenge.
Here is what I started with. I pulled together some things I thought would go well with the ceramic, polymer, shell, copper & glass I was provided with.

I took 1/3 of the sheet of copper & made it into charms. The bail of the donut is embellished peyote stitch. The copper ear wires are hand made by me. The beautiful copper clasp provided is on the back of this piece.

My pottery is still my first love, but beads and creating things with them come in a fairly close second.

What a great job! Love all your creations. I'd wear those earrings all the time. Classic!
Which pair? I really love the copper ones myself... maybe I'll wear those today...
WOW!!!! Simple Awesome Creations!!!!
WOW! I love all of these pieces!
Okay I love what you did with those oval mother of pearl beads. I had those also and they presented quite the challenge for me. Great out of the box thinking!!!!!!! I also loved the composition of your first necklace. Beautiful work....inspiring!
While I'm unable to read the print on my computer (the purple does not show against that black on my screen) I'm loving all the pieces you made. I especially like the wire wrapped bracelet with the MOP pearls.
Finding it difficult to read too, but enjoying all the eye candy.
I went in and tweaked the font color to a paler shade of lavender... I hope that helps.
Thank you all for your wonderful comments!
I agree - the copper ring earrings are fantastic! These are all beautiful - but that bangle bracelet is simply awesome - so creative...so beautiful! Nice job!
Thank you everyone! The bangle was a challenge, it almost was torn apart. My friend Kathy suggested adding the single free water pearl &the that was the key. I may change it to a cuff, should I decide to well it. The bangle is a bit more limited, size wise.
I had the greatest time with this challenge. Now, the challenge is to figure pricing... my least favorite part of creating!
I won a pair of your earrings in the Creative Bead Chat and got them today. They are so beautiful! Thank you :)
