Got two more done. Only one more to go.
Hopefully, I’ll get the last one done this weekend. Then it’s on to something new!!
Two More Curvy Wire Necklaces
Periwinkle Curvy Wire Necklace
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.
Square Chip Beads and Sterling Silver Charms
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.
Another Squiggle Wire Necklace
I decided to try another one using different colors for the glass balls. I made the balls bigger so they would show up more too.
These are so much fun to make. I love bending the wire into different shapes.
Squiggle Wire Necklace
This necklace was a test to see if I could make small glass balls on the end of wire. One end was balled up and then hammered flat and drilled to make a hole. The wires are linked together with a wire going through the holes, then the glass ball is added to the other side.
Close up of the links.
Enameled Piece Pendant
I wanted to try to set an enameled piece in a bezel setting so this piece was all an experiment.
Not crazy about this piece but I did achieve what I was trying to do and that was set the enameled circle in a bezel. That part went smoothly, no cracking the of any enamel. I added a few embellishments, like the brass rivets on the side and the little cab at the top. I was planning on using fibers for the dangle, hence the reason for the larger hole but I didn’t like the way it looked. The bead dangle is a tad better.
Kumihimo Bracelets
My sister was here for the holidays and she brought a kumihimo cording kit. I’ve wanted to make one but didn’t want to get into buying the supplies for another hobby so I’ve been putting it off. Here’s a few that she made. I added the end caps and clasps. These cords make up quickly so she made several in just a few days.
The one on the right is the fibers that came with her kit. The one on the left is from stuff I had already. I had some fringe-like yarn that made the little wisps of fiber stick out all over. I want to make a beaded cord someday.
Round Sterling Silver Charms
These are hollow too. I used sterling silver tubing for these so they are slightly easier to make than the other shaped ones.
Sterling Silver Hollow Charms
These are part of my Modern Talisman Component line which is different pieces that can be mixed and matched.
These are tiny, like less than 1/2 inch at the largest point. Except the last one. Not sure what I’m going to use that one for yet.
One More Japanese Crest Pendant
Here’s the last of the Japanese crest pendants I made.
I’m back to making beads for Beads Of Courage to take to the December glass club meeting.
