I made this last summer when the weather was too hot for torching.
Two different views. The bottom bead is a big disk with a flower bead on top, then a round bead. They are set together with a screw. The metal is nickel silver. It’s finished with a leather cord for the necklace.
I made this last summer after I took Susan Lenart Kazmer’s Cold Connections class. It was a blast!! This one has two piece of metal that have tubing between them so it’s dimensional. I didn’t like the dolomite stone afterwards. It was too blah so I added the little charm on the top. The sheet metal is bronze and I believe the rest of it is brass. It’s all done with cold connections, nothing is soldered. I love making these free form pendants.
I’m so glad it’s Friday!! Time for some torching this weekend!! I’m still having fun with my Jim Moore bead coring machine. It’s the greatest!! This is a simple necklace made out of brass.
Just right for spring!!
I got a bead coring machine and have been playing around with it. After breaking a few beads, I caught on to how it all works. Makes coring beads so easy. Here’s a pendant I made just to see if I could rivet a bead onto a piece of metal. I think it worked out pretty good, don’t you think?
The metal back is bronze and all the rest is brass.
I made this for my friend. It’s supposed to be a necklace/rear view mirror hanging thing. I made it so it can hang from anything. My friend likes dolphins. Tom from Sanctuary Glass made the dolphin.
