Weeks 11 and 12

Sorry I'm so behind in posting!

For week 11 I actually made a few things - they all came together one morning so I photographed them all and here they are!

Onyx and sterling pendant - hand fabricated from sheet with a ball melted from sterling wire. I chased a few lines at the bottom for some 'interest'.

Then I have a malachite and onyx pendant - this was so much fun to make! The onyx is only 4mm and its all hand set. I added some wire to bring in some negative space and I like that the onyx swings - its not static.

Then I have my really fun piece!! This is an interchangeable pendant. Its not made to come apart - rather the two pieces are permanent but they will 'flip' which allows the wearer to bring either the copper or the sterling to the front. With the copper in the front the peridot and sterling peek through. With the sterling in the front, the copper outlines the edges. There are also copper elements at the rivet points to tie it together.

Then finally, just for show and tell, is the copper piece by itself, pre-assembly.

For week 12 I have a very simple ring - sterling and carnelian:

I am not sure of the size of the carenlian - maybe 8x8x8.....set in sterling with no embellishments, just the split shank. Simple, clean, to the point. :)

Week 8 & week 9

Might as well do them both in one post since I'm running a bit behind. :)

I have been doing fold forming lately, so both weeks are showing some of what I've done. Week 8 is the copper fold formed pin with a small CZ set in it. Then for week 9 a pendant of copper with some tiny pearls cold joined to the front of the pendant.

This is the bail on the backside:


And here are some other pieces I am playing with but haven't yet decided how to finish...

All of the coloring is the natural heat process, I didn't do anything else to them. Copper offers such great colors when it is heated!

C&C welcome. :)
