Working with Wire – Extreme winding & weaving!
I love the way these earrings turned out. The center crystal is a Swarovski pave bead in the shade of “gunmetal” and the copper core wire (in rose gold finish) works beautifully with it. I further punched the contrast by added more gunmetal in the findings.
Tons of coiling in this cute pendant made at the request of a college. Bare pure copper wire was used with aquamarine beads.
I know the aquamarine looks more green than blue, but it is closer to it’s natural state – not died and stabilized.
Here is a picture of natural aquamarine.
More bead weaving pieces for the month of May
These were made for a good friend from London England. I started with the pendant and finished with a pair of matching earrings. The set in Sterling was $125.
