Summer Chrysalis
Copper and Lampwork Bangle

This pure copper bangle is a feast for the senses. Different textures combine to create one pleasing bangle! Springtime reveals chrysalises hanging from just about everywhere. They look like crazy wire concoctions with bits of twigs and bark glued on. Thus the inspiration for my chrysalis focal made from pure copper wire with tiny Sterling silver beads.

This beautiful bracelet combines pure copper and Sterling silver wire and Greek Mykonos� ceramic beads that have been dipped in pure copper. The large hammered silver ball is Sterling silver. A lovely rich patina enhances its incredible textures.

The fabulous lampwork beads by the talented team of Two Sisters Designs are created from borosilicate glass. The photos were taken in natural light, enhancing the boro colors. Indoors, the subdued colors are a perfect pairing with the copper.
