I got an order for eight of these necklaces. I got most of the hard work done and now I just have to add the glass balls and link the wires together. The fun part is bending them into shapes. This is the first one.
The wire is copper that has been patina’ed and tumbled to harden the wire.
Just made some simple beads last night in a bunch of different colors. They are wrapped with an ivory stringer with silver on it.
I made the same beads as I did the night before. More enamel and frit beads. And another owl and fish too.
Well, kinda. It’s not done. I just got the cloisonne piece done. Still have to make it into a piece of jewelry. I stayed with easy for my first piece and even then some of my wires moved.
This is 1.5 inches. I put silver under the transparent curves and cells but it doesn’t show up that well. I didn’t do any shading, just plain enamels. I wanted to learn the process. Now I can get more intricate and take my time making a piece. I’m still going to turn this into a piece of jewelry just because it’s my first piece.
I made some pink and black beads last night, along with some pink and green veiled cane spacers.
Got a couple sets of head pins done too. The wires have been on my work bench for a while and keep moving around. Finally got a chance to get them off my bench.
This is the last of the square chip beads. I think I have more than enough to sell at the next bead show.
So glad these are all done. Now I get to move onto something else. Yea!!
I’m sure getting tired of making square chip beads. I think my idea of making them in all colors isn’t going to happen. These are the ones I finished up so far this weekend.
And some new sterling silver charms that I’ve been working on for weeks. Finally got around to finishing them up.
I’ve never done a picture of them laying flat so while I was lining them up for sizing I took a quick picture to show.
Then because I got tired of making the same beads over and over, I made a few kissy fish beads.
