Titanium Demo this Saturday

I will be demonstrating "Coloring Titanium" at the Grapevine Beadmaker's Society, Saturday July 17 2010 6:00 pm. The meeting are held at Wired Up Beads in Grapevine, TX. Below are some of my pieces that feature heat patina titanium. I will demonstrate heat patina with an acetylene torch.

This set of earrings and pendant are sassy and fun. The single bud earrings will frame your face with a touch of color and a small white pearl. Made from textured Argentium Silver and heat patina titanium.

In every garden there are song birds. This pendant will bring the lilting song of the blue bird close to you heart. Made of textured Argentium Silver and heat patina titanium. Clasp is in the front.
