OOOOpsy Corrected!

Ahhh... the mistake corrected!


Beads in the right places and all shined up..


I took out 2 brass nut beads to snug up the fit a little.

OppppSy!

And here is why you should not work on a piece of jewelry when you are tired or distracted! LOL... I was quite pleased with this bracelet, as the tube coils noodles are made of recycled brass wire that I very patiently salvaged from several other items that were practice or didn't come out right... I straightened out the wire and twisted it and then coiled it. I am really gung ho! on recycling items to keep useful things out of our landfill and I belong to the local Portland Freecycle group, so I was feeling all warm fuzzy and pleased when I noticed I neglected to put 1 spacer bead on between the rose quartz rondell and the end lampwork focal bead! Slaps self in head... Thwack! So now I get to do it over again... ROFLMAO! Well live and definitely learn to Double Check before I make the end eye hook, .

Golden Egypt

Copper wire Sculpted Tiger Eye cabochon and necklace.

Pendent is Large and sculpted of 18 ga round copper wire. Three strands were formed by hand around the Tiger Eye Cab. I really love this beautiful piece of gem material... it has lovely chatoyancy and a tiny glimmer of greenish color along one side. The bail is very large and pendent taken off and necklace worn alone.

Hand formed copper donut beads, handcrafted S clasp closure.

Autum Essense Bracelet

I love Chainmaille jewelry... and my favorite to make are chunky pearl and gemstone beaded ones. Anodized Aluminum rings in a dark warm coppery brown woven in the Tryzintine pattern, which is an off shoot of the Byzantine one of the most popular and beautiful chain designs. 8mm Unakite beads blend with baroque copper colored and golden hued freshwater pearls.

All the pearls were re drilled by hand to use on 20 ga copper wire. A handmade copper hook clasp creates a bracelet that is Fall inspired.
