Here it is, a 10g copper wire cuff, wrapped with 18g coated wire. Dangles made from balled copper wire headpins in 20g. I think this might be my favorite piece that I made from this hop. Hard and a lil edgy with a feminine side (kinda like me).

Final piece from Lucite and Clay Blog Hop
Finally had some sun Wednesday to take pics of my last piece from the Lucite and Clay Blog Hop. I used up every little Lucite bead that came in my stash :).

Lucite and Clay Blog Hop Reveal
Today is the big reveal for the lucite and clay blog hop I mentioned on Thursday's post. Sponsored by Lisa Liddy of Pine Ridge Treasures. Thanks to Lisa for putting this all together and mailing us all our little packets of bead awesomeness.
A quick reminder of what I received to play with, lucite in shades of pink. As mentioned in the previous post both lucite and pink are a creative stretch for me.
I created two pieces and as of tonite one is still in the works. My procrastination and sore hands kept me from finishing the third. Hopefully the third will be finished and added to this post tomorrow. First up in the completed category is a little pair of earrings, the remind of gasplant flowers. One of the advantages of lucite is how light it is for earrings! Too bad my budget is currently on a no new beads diet or I would be searching for more of these little petal beads.

Second on the finished list is a necklace, made with that pretty floral focal bead. I added some of my own lampwork in the way of leafy headpins and hollow beads. Then I added a 4 strand plaited ribbon "chain". I have never done 4 strand plait. The plait gave me a bit of trouble as I tend to do everything from cross stitch to braiding horses manes and tails in a very tight tension. Ribbon does not appreciate being worked tightly, and when you over tighten it buckles and puckers.
(Sorry this is a lil dark.)
The third and as yet unfinished piece is a bracelet. The headpins below will dangle from the wire wraps on the cuff.
While I finish up the bracelet, I hope you will hop along and visit the other participants. Be sure to stop by A Grateful Artist - Pine Ridge Treasures and thank Lisa for putting this together :).
