Thanks to a couple hundred of you guys for jumping in on our latest Design Challenge: brushed copper beads!  *And welcome to you visitors from the Rings & Things News Flash email!*

From the dozen or so brushed copper bead recipients, Rings & Things received dozens of awesome photos showing what they designed.

The grand prize winner is Kym Hunter! Kym built this simple but wonderful ring.

We loved the simplicity, cleverness and cuteness of Kym’s ring!  Besides two brushed copper beads (puffed flower and striped disk), Kym used just a couple of pieces of felt and some copper wire–to great effect.

See Kym’s other brushed-copper bead creations at the original Design Challenge blog post.  They’re in a photo gallery there with everyone else’s entries.

Don’t miss out!  You’ll find jewelry there like Melissa Meman’s drape earrings, inventively using the small brushed disk beads  (which she oxidized) as vertical design elements .

I promise you’ll have a great time browsing the photos  Thanks for sending a friend the link, to share & enjoy!
