So I am making it a good one.
This patina mix is called Canyon.
A base of white oxide, a wash of chestnut brown, heat treatment of russet red and a splattering of burgundy universal patina. It took weeks to develop and I want to share it.
I am combining it with petal shaped links in chestnut brown and a toggle clasp in russet red.
But that's not all!
I am also including 18" of this wonderful, heart shaped vintage brass chain!
Cause I love you.
ANNNNNNND
Some hollow, embossed copper heart beads in burgundy.
Aren't they gorgeous!!?!!
These are the kind of beads that make chiming sounds when they clink together.
I want you to hold them and giggle at them like I do.
Okay!
Do you think you could make something with these components?
Would you like to try?
Leave me a comment and make sure I can visit you at your blog. I will keep this give-a-way open for 2 weeks (drawing on Monday, the 21st) and use the random generator to pick me a winner!
Why yes, I do believe that I could make something, and yes, I would like to try. Something for my mother. Those are her colors....now, if you could just throw a rooster in there, she could hang it in her kitchen!
ReplyDeleteOoohhh, I'm absolutly sure, that I can make something out of such wonderful component. Hopefully I can try. And I think I have some agate-roundels which would fit gorgeous. regards Stefanie

ReplyDeleteSorry for my english and thank you for your wonderful blog!.....ah, I've almost forgotten: probably, for the first two weeks I couldn't find the courage to do anything from your components, but then.....Happiness! Joy! Working until late in the night while all the family is asleep!

ReplyDeleteI'd make a great long boho-y necklace with those great components! What a great color!
ReplyDeleteShannon, your patina work is just incredible! I love the 'recipe' you have cooked up. You asked if we could make something with these components and the answer is 'Darn Straight' I can!! Would love to combine them with some of my polymer clay work. Would be the perfect combination!

Wow, I posted this morning-did I get lost? Yeah, I'd love to try something with these. Beautiful as usual, I don't know how you get those gorgeous colors!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, and yes! That Canyon patina is just gorgeous! Just today I was leafing through a travel magazine which featured the beautiful canyons of Utah. I'll bet you can guess their color.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win these components!

These are begging for lovely translucent stones in slightly-tinted warm tones, as well as hints of whiskey quartz. Two strands, with hints of bright copper.
ReplyDeletethose colours are gorgeous. I think I'd try to make a fabulous, over the top cha~cha bracelet. See you in the soup!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome giveaway...such warm colors! I would love to make something using all of these lovely components. Please count me in on your very generous drawing!
ReplyDeleteThank-you, Hope
Oh my, why yes I do believe could make something with your wonderful pieces! How fun and such a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI feel quite certain I could create something fabulous with these components! Heck you could just stick them together as is and it would be stunning. Copper is my fav and your patinas are just luscious. (I'm sitting here mentally pawing through my stash already...green opal? peridot?).
ReplyDeleteOh, what a wonderful way to spend my Sunday morning. Perusing your wonderful blog, Etsy shops, wishing for the good luck giveaway fairy to look my way, and enjoying your creativity! I am so happy to have found you! Inspiration is knocking on my shoulder....xxx

xox jean!
Could I create something with these??? Could I stop myself??? If I had all that metal in my hands no telling what I could create. Beautiful stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the patina and I think that the more senses one can engage in a piece of art, the more it will be loved. I love the sounds of chimes -and I can definitely say that I would be fiddling with it's song all day long! I have a fledgling blot - truth is, I'd rather make stuff than blog about it. but it's http://hootenannyhollow.blogspot.com.

ReplyDeleteI am dying to play with some copper!
ReplyDeleteI would love to combine your beautiful copper components with some lampwork beads. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteDon`t know how I almost missed this terrific giveaway - love your work.
ReplyDeletemcclelland@sympatico.ca
Oh, Shannon, You have made something to Wow us all again! Your "old" stuff is still to lust for, and now this! Such hard work, 2 weeks to develop the patina - it was soooo worth it! Hope you made a big batch, I want the hearts and the chain and etc. etc. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou do such creative work. I love your inspiration and I love this give away. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeletechris
GORGEOUS!!! Of course I'd try to do something fab with these components!! Stop by my blog anytime!! http://www.creativeflutter.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI'm still learning but I think I could make something nice. I'm using some of Persona's sterling silver beads right now. They tarnish over time with oxidization. I think they would look very good with these rustic beads.
ReplyDeletei wouldlove to use these beads in a new creation....the possibilities are endless! Love them!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, please - I would love to create a special piece from these divine ingredients! And since I'm a red/orange kinda gal, it wouldn't be difficult. And if I win, I will blog the project from start to finish - wouldn't that be fun?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the chance!

Just passed by accidentaly and saw these beautiful copper things your ar giving away. I think they will look great with some of my blue seed beads. Just saying...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the items you are giving away. What a generous person you are to share your beautiful creating inspiring objects with us. I am new to beading and wirework and although I LOVE copper, I haven't done much in it yet. Almost afraid to, afraid I'll become as hooked to it as I am my beading. I love the earthy tones and natural materials. Guess it goes with my ancestors.
