I haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought I would share what I have been up to.

Here to the right, is a pendant that was made with heavy gauge purple coated wire. I also used finer gauge wire and green faceted crystal beads to give dimension. It measures just under 2 inches including bail.







To the left, I made a wire wrap ring. The beads I used are faceted aqua blue crystals. The ring measures size 7.






Lastly here at the bottom, I have made a long knit necklace. It is one solid piece. And it has three faceted black onyx beads. It measures over 43 inches long.

Knitting with Wire

I have been looking for spool knitters for awhile. I needed a particular kind to knit with wire. I had to end up ordering it from the UK. Well, I actually ordered three in different sizes, I figured if I was paying to have it shipped from the UK, make it worth it. I got it a week ago and have been loving it. It takes some time to make a chain. But I am hoping to get faster. I made this necklace yesterday.

Whimsical Cherry Free Form Bracelet

First I started out by making the cherry charms. I thought that they would look cute on a bracelet. So I used silver color wire, added the charms and red glass seed beads to create this whimsical bracelet.

Free From Bracelets

I decided to try free form bracelets.

For this bracelet I used gold wire with red glass beads. There are three focal beads and red glass seed beads throughout. I also made a S shaped hook to fasten it with.










I made this one as a cuff. I used copper wire and faceted aqua blue glass beads.










Lastly I made this one as a cuff as well. And used silver color craft wire and pinkish purple colored pearls.

Six Loop Free Form Ring


This free form ring I formed with six loops. The center bead has a marbled effect of a pretty sky blue and olive green.

Free Form Pendant with Aqua Bead


This free form pendant I made using a aqua faceted glass bead. This pendant is smaller than the ones I normally make. It looks just under an inch long.
