shiny_omgFinally got Parchment Roses, Green with Envy and Seaside Geometry (all in this post) up on Etsy.
Also found a bead seller on Amazon marketplace that has a good price on half-hard sterling wire. Ordered a spool and will see how it is. I've been wanting to do some wire-wrap work.
Think this weekend's project is going to be playing with some of the copper-color craft wire I picked up a while back. I was thinking of a long coil of copper wire slipped on a leather cord for stability, and maybe with some glass beads interspersed between the coils. And I also want to do a blue variant on Green with Envy, with some of the foil finish glass beads I got the other day.
I also want to hit up a couple of thrift stores and see what I can find to cannibalize and re-purpose. Especially different varieties of chain. I picked up this book called Bead Simple that has some really cool pieces using with vintage or thrifted jewelry and pins, which is an idea I really like, that re-imagining.
