Fanciful Copper

About this design:

I have these wonderful brushed copper beads which I thought worked quite nicely with LB's Honey Tourmilated Quartz. I don't think there's ever been a Quartz I didn't like. Here's the result...

Components:

Honey Tourmilated Quartz, Artisan Lampwork beads, Copper beads, Freshwater pearls, swarovski crystals, Sterling silver bead caps, TierraCast toggle clasp..
