Hair Sticks Part Two

Still working on hair sticks and having a blast making them. Here’s more that I finished up.

I’m still working on the “dangle” hair stick design. This next picture shows two different versions.

I’m leaning towards the one on the right. It’s easier to do and I like the dangle coming out of the top of the hair stick.

Collaborative Jewelry

My friend was asked to make an all etched clear and sterling silver necklace and earrings by a buyer. It’s tough making beads all one color, especially clear. I made the flower beads, she made the rest of the beads and designed the pieces. The buyer wanted lots of dangles.

This is the pendant. The flower looks great cored with silver bead caps. There are tons of dangles too!!

This is one of the earrings. It’s not as big as in the picture. I love all the Lifesaver bead dangles.

Little Pendants

I made a few pendants out of some of the glass cabs I made. I was going to use them for a bracelet but these are so cute I want to make more. Now I wish I made a better assortment of cabs so I’d have more of a variety. It will take me a while before I can “borrow” someone’s flat lap grinder to grind more cabs down.

Sorry about the crappy picture. I just can’t seem to take very good pictures when things are too shiny.

Something Different

Yep, this is something totally new for me. I got together with some friends for a play day and we all worked on different projects. I got started working on bezel setting these glass cabochons that I made a while ago. When I came home, I finally got my micro torch hooked up so I could finish this bracelet. Now I can solder any time I want. I’m so excited!!
