Gus and her Halo

This bracelet can be seen at http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14381353
Byzantine chainmaille bracelet woven with black Anodized Alum. rings, BA or Bright Aluminum

is also used for the dangles and the hook clasp.

BA looks very similar to Silver, but does not have the tarnish problems, there can be some slight greying over time but a quick wash and rinse brings it back up to Top Sparkle.

The beads are agate and jaspers in greens, mauves and pinks with gorgeous 8 mm or larger freshwater pearls.

The painted rock is of my beloved kitty who passed on last year... her name was Gus. She sits on my work bench and keeps me company while I make jewelry. The bracelet is for sale at http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14381353 My Etsy shop AtabbycatArts

Three Pendants

Three very early examples of what I was doing when I first learned wirework. The Cameo is an inexpensive resin fashion cab set in a 4 wire brass wiresculpture setting with a light pink freshwater pearl.. the second is an Argonite cabochon in copper with a hidden bail.. this one works great with a scarf.. the third is a beautiful red jasper cabochon set in a more traditional wire wrap prong setting.... all done about 4 years ago.
