Owl in Copper

This is a little hand painted pebble Owl. Sitting in a copper wire harness, as of now it is temporarily strung on a black linen cord with a hand coiled copper wire bead... I have been looking at this little guy for several months trying to envision the necklace that he will be connected to... stay tuned I will get it done eventually!

White Pearls Black Hemitite 65.00

I have been on a kick of making the chainmaille and bead bracelets lately. Experimenting with some new weaves also but this one is a 16ga. Bright Aluminum rings in the Byzantine weave...which is probably my favorite. Large 9mm White freshwater off round pearls with good nacre and luster alternate with 8mm hemitite beads. This will fit up to an 8in wrist and can be altered easily to fit under 7. $65.00
Beautiful and eye catching for wear on warm summer evenings, all the pearls were redrilled by hand to accomodate the 20 ga wire I use to wrap the dangles. If interested use the contact me,
This would be lovely in a smaller gauge rings with smaller beads and pearls for a younger girl.
I have other bracelets in colored anodized aluminum and beautiful colored pearls and beads.

A pair of faceted Tiger Eye bead earrings with copper coiled seed bead wheels. An Eni Oken inspired design. Tiger Eye is one of my favorite gem materials, this pair has a lovely greenish layer of color at the bottom of each bead that is not noticeable in this picture, Irving my lovely modeling assistant was in a snit and threatened to bite me if I tried to press him into any more modeling. Gargoyles can be so moody and disagreeable! Irving can be found hiding in the older posts Irvings SRP, 15.00

Irvings Earrings

Irving modeling a pair of Eni Oken style earrings. And again he is not amused... Three gorgeous golden color button shape freshwater pearls with copper spacer beads. The round dangles are made of copper and gold colored non tarnish wire with little root beer glass seed beads as embelishment.

Irving and the Jasper

Like most "Rock hounds" I have collected tumbled polished nugget stones. For quite awhile I just looked at them, now I have a way to use undrilled polished stones, in wire wrapped settings..

This is Irving the Gargoyle... ( I love Gargoyles! and have a small collection) and after much cajoling he agreed to model some of my stuff.. but he certainly doesn't look very happy about it!

A red jasper in a 16ga copper wrap.






I am not very good at this type of wire setting as is evidenced in the gaps between the stone and the wire, but it is secure and I am working on finding the right colors of agate and jasper beads to make a necklace to hang this from.
Thanks Irving you're doing a heck of a job!

Happy Birthday! to Me :)

I haven't posted in awhile, I had a birthday and have been busy... Wow time flies when you're having fun! Worked on a new way I think of making a slip on bangle bracelet... it turned out rather nice I think but I have been tweaking with the design to enhance it..

A wonderful surreal Jasper focal bead and hand fashioned copper twisted tubes and copper donut beads. This has no clasp. Slip on!
