Autumn Leaf

by Jodi
Description:

I was commissioned by Kathy Hoppe, owner of Ogosh Buttons to make a bracelet with this magnificent bead that she made! Kathy and I met at the To Bead True Blue show in Tucson. My pictures really do not show the true brilliance of the colors of this spectacular bead (the never ending battle with taking good pictures)!

Absolutely Stunning!! This bead is breathtaking and, as usual, you have really done it justice Jodi! I'm sure it's even more so "in person". Beautiful work, both of you!!

Thank you! I was very honored that Kathy asked ME to make a bracelet for her. She has told me that she is going to post more beads on her site - she mostly has buttons right now and no beads like this one. I bought Item #BE-34 and some others like this but in cranberry colors...I cannot wait to make some bracelets/necklaces with these!

Thanks all for the nice compliments! Kathy also posted the picture, as you can see. She is new to our community - please send her a welcome email! Personally I cannot wait until she posts some more of her beautiful beads and her pictures will probably be much better than mine - haha!

I think if it was mine, I might just have to build my wardrobe around it and never take it off!!! ;-)

Jodi,
Beautiful job on the cuff. Is that copper leaf fused onto the bead itself? Duh... Gorgeous bead.
