Hi All!

[Patty Miller]

Hi, my name is Patty and my shop is Cabaribeads. I make lampwork beads, do kiln fusing (not so much right now), work with copper, brass and silver and make jewelry with all that I don't sell! I have been designing jewelry for over 15 years. Then I learned to make glass beads and added to that pmc, sheet metal and wire. I have told myself that is all I am going to learn and then something new comes along! lol
I am always learning in all areas that I work in. Sometimes I think I have spread myself too thin but I love it all. Here are some examples of my work.36743675367636773678

I forgot to say I also work in seed beads. And that's IT! I won't, I won't , I won't do anything else! lolol

Thanks for the welcome Sonia! I cheated in that necklace and used dyed stones which I rarely do. I checked them for water fastness and they are fine. Maybe they are irradiated. Thanks.

I really like those hieroglyphs - are they etched?

Hi Patty, welcome from me.

[Patty Miller]

Thanks Elaine. yes, they are acid etched. It is a long process but worth the result.

Hi from me too. If you do find that you are reading things here, ignore my posts as they are generally a goldmine (see what I did there?) of misinformation and or red herrings in as much I never take the easy route and can always make things far more complicated than they need be :0)

[Di Sandland]

Hello Patti and welcome - lots of useful info; just ignore the village idiots ;-)

If you had only seen my attempt at mokume today... Who knew you could make metal resemble burnt toast?
