Etched Copper Inspirism Sun Catchers

Etched Copper "Inspirism" Sun Catchers
Etched Copper “Inspirism” Sun Catchers

From a sheet of copper I cut the shape, file/sand, apply the design, then put it through an etching process. Clean it up, put it through a patina process, then give it either a spray of lacquer or coat of wax to help it maintain the patina finish. A few rustic wraps of copper wire, a colorful bead or two, and a large leaded crystal prism ball and it’s ready to hang. The back side has a black ink stamping and has a slight patina.

Hang it in a sunny spot and watch your room come alive with colorful rainbow prisms. A wonderful way to remind someone they are being thought of and loved.

So whimsical and fun.       I have a number of different sayings and quotes available and a few listed at JudysTreehouse.etsy.com.

Funky Fun and Whimsical Jewelry

I found these fabulous fiber bundles on Etsy at FishBayElements.    You really should check out this shop.    It’s sure to set your creative muse in gear.    And, of course, I had to get some bundles…..and then some more bundles….and then a few more.   At first, I wasn’t sure how I was going to incorporate them into my jewelry designs.    Slowly but surely they are evolving.    Here, I’ve incorporated them into these bright, colorful unique daydream catcher necklaces.     You can find them at Judystreehouse.etsy.com.

Play Me A Melody

Sometimes I’ll find something cool that I want to incorporate into a design, so I purchase it. Sometimes, when I purchase these cool things by the time I get them I forgot what I had intended or I get one of those “what was I thinking”. So, I just add it to my stash until it evokes my creative muse and evolves into some eclectic loveliness. Thus was the case with these rustic bells. They have a lovely chime. Perfect addition to a window or porch where the slight breeze can create a little melody!
