I've got my groove back!
I've had a great last 3 days; a good weekend. I finally have some new jewelry made and photos to share. It felt good to have thing flow, to feel natural to me; working and shaping with wire. But before I do show off my new goodies, I want to mention that in today's mail I got this month's issue of "Step by Step" wire magazine and paged through to find my earrings featured in the gallery page. This made me happy! A step forward!
A great magazine for those of you would want to pursue wire jewelry making.
So on to the eye candy. I made a number of hoop type designs, well squares to be honest. A pair with a dangle of wire wrapped chunk amethyst, and (my personal favorite), "barbed wire" squares of sterling silver with copper twisted wire wrapped around. I think I'll be making a pair for myself!
And some more sterling silver spiral earrings in bright silver and oxidized with some metal beads. These were a request from a local gallery here.
Then I finally finished a bracelet and earring set that I've been spending some time working on. It's all pure copper oxidized to a beautiful patina finish with artisan made lampwork beads. Rather earthy, natural looking with spirals on them. Another of my favorites to use in my pieces. All coiled and with a hand crafted toggle clasp; a new design by me, with great matching earrings. I love the look of the spiral ear wires that I made with these.
Now these won't be available right away in my Etsy shop, but if there's something that you want, please leave a comment or contact me so I can let you know the prices and get them out to you! Thanks for looking and enjoying my blog!
