Copper Bangles

While I started using copper wire because it was inexpensive and readily available, I have grown to appreciate it's earthy tone and rustic appearance.  I recently began soldering and started with copper because I knew that there was going to be a large learning curve. The more I work with it the more I love using it and it is no longer a "learning and experimenting" wire, but a staple for me.

Copper is a naturally soft metal and therefore easy to texture. A little hammering and some oxidizing with liver of sulfur and you have a rich, rustic look.

SoopSee.com

Have you visited SoopSee yet? It is a site that is set up to let you show your Etsy listings, blog posts and other places you sell, all in one place. I really like the nice, crisp look of the site and the ability to choose the template you use to showcase your items.

Have a look at my page and see what you think. SoopSee is in the beta stage, but they have more plans in the works. Future plans include allowing for import of items from other sites such as Artfire and 1000 Markets, adding Google Analytics and more.

I had a few questions and contacted them via email and I must say the their customer service was excellent.

Think Pink

I just added this to my Artistry Arts shop. It was made by crocheting bright pink lined and pale pink lined glass seed beads into a bangle bracelet. Perfect for Spring!
