Oh were these ever a challenge!!
I couldn't have done it without the help of Pati Walton and Terry Turner, ♥♥♥
The head pins in all these designs are made by Pati Walton. She is a local Colorado artist which I have had the pleasure of meeting more than once. She sells at local bead shows and I always go mad-crazy at her booth. I will make it a point to see her again this April and she's also attending the annual Tucson show if you happen to be in the area.
The beads above the head pins are by the amazing Terry Turner of Silverfish Designs. The thing I love the most about Terry's beads is there's lots of color to them, so there's no fail finding something to use them with.
I don't have a favorite to choose from, I find them all most amazing in their own way. All I can tell you is these two artists make creating so much more fun, their beads are truly art and I really have a hard time giving any of them up, ♥
I cannot find the words to describe these beauties!! Magnificent cooperation of very talented artists!

ReplyDeletethank you Norble 2X, lol!!!♥♥♥
DeleteBeauties! I'm always struck by all the detail in your work. It's just so distinctive. I'm also a big fan of those rusty links you use - I seriously covet them for my stash!
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire, it was quite an undertaking trying to duplicate the patina, but I think I finally figured it out, at least most of my batches are coming out similar. I use them in almost everything anymore, ☺
