Another Serving of Bead Gumbo, S'il Vous Plait.

Ok, I have a few things left to post, but I don't know if I can get them up until most of you are asleep. Kate sent me three of her hand-hammered copper rings, one of which came as a toggle with a bar. Well, I joined them all together and they look like chain, which I absolutely love! I need about 25 more of these fabulous rings; I'd join them all together and make one long, chunky chain.

Anyway, I linked these up with lots of antiqued copper chain and some irregularly shaped turquoise nuggets. The necklace is my version of a "bib" necklace, I suppose. Asymmetrical, as usual. Kate did such a fantastic job creating a rich, warm patina on her copper links.

I'm wearing this to the Saints' game tomorrow!

    I am SO sorry for being late — today our internet provider decided to crash. My stress level is through the roof, to say the least! They’re still working on it, but it’s like dial-up.

    I love the boho look of the drapey chains! Really well done!

    I hope you’ll participate again!

    Love, Lori

    Great piece. Love the idea of linking all that copper goodness together! We’re all being pushed outside our comfort zones — with amazing results!

    Enjoy the hop,
    Emanda

    The way you grouped the rings together to make chain is great. And I like the other chains just draping from it. Very funky.
