Arizona Copper Jewelry

 These copper pieces came from the copper mines in Arizona.  Some of the miners would take the copper they found and melt it down in a smelter.  They would then apply heat through a torch to get the beautiful colors.  The colors appear through the chemical reaction between heat and copper. Then they dip the copper in water to stop the reaction once reaching the color they liked.  In my travels I found these pieces and thought I would turn them into jewelry just for you! I have found that they go pretty with the popular coral color everyone is wearing this season as well as the blues.

Photos from Keith's Korner and Shakerag

Two bottom photos were my setup at Keith's Korner

The trade I made with www.kcrglass.com

The glass pitcher I traded jewelry with www.kcrglass.com

Keith's Korner was a fun show. A lot of friends old and new came out to visit me. It was 3 long hot days and every time I had to go to the bathroom I drove home. I lived 5 min. away (Thank God) and it was worth it to not have to traumatize myself using a port-a- potty. Above are some photos of Keith's Korner and how I had my tables set up. I wish I had taken some photos of shakerag with my new set up. A friend of mine built some really nice 3 tiered wood stands and then I cover them with my silk fabric and it looked really nice.  My display tends to look different for every show.  It's all about presentation, not so much quantity. When I first started doing shows I was happy to make my booth money back and then some. I just recently set a goal of $1,000 at one show and I exceeded it! My husband was so proud of me.  I think I met my goal because I've learned how to set myself apart from other jewelry vendors. You have to try and be different. I noticed at the last show that we were all very different.  I got tons of compliments from customers, which meant a lot to me.  However, I wasn't to keen about the lady that said I looked like Chelsea Clinton but prettier! In one of the photos above you'll see my wine bottle serving trays. These are a hot seller. You can take them to your holiday party with food on it and let the host keep the bottle as a gift! I have flat ones and some that are bowls. The bowls are great for dips!
Now to get to what I really wanted to talk about. See the glass pitcher and cups above? They are absolutely beautiful! I am going to have the lady make me some more cups. The cups were $12 and the pitcher was $50. I got them from www.kcrglass.com.  She has a glass blowing studio in Atlanta, which at the moment I can't find the info. because my art room is a mess due to the past 2 shows. While I was quickly checking out other vendors at the show, Kate was at my booth talking to my husband. She asked if him if I would be interested in trading product. I was so excited, because I loved her work. I love trading with other vendors and it is such a compliment. She and her husband were so nice and I can't wait to go up to their studio and possibly take a few classes.
