More with these copper pendants!

First things first! The winner for Aprils giveaway is Destiny!!! I can't wait to put our heads together and see what we create!!! Congrats!!

Thanks everyone for playing. It was so much fun. I will do something again next month - stay tuned!!!!

I can't stop! I am so hooked!!

I wanted a real different design that would allow the black stripe in the green garnet to be showcased. I wanted it to keep the eye busy, but keep you coming back to that stripe. It is like a road map or a ride at an amusement park, I can't decide.



Materials used:
14 ga copper wire
Green garnet bead
Rhodinite
Dyed quartz
Rose quartz
Turquoise
Czech glass

More pendants

I took supplies to work yesterday to beat the boredom. It is one of those boredom's that I don't want to do anything. I can't read a book, I don't want to look at the internet anymore, have no desire to play any games, just staring into space.

I am going to be creative damnit if it is the last thing I do!!!!

I took my bowl of bead soup, 4 gauges of wire, (bought 4 spools from Rings & Things, best purchase to date!) a few crystals and my tools. Now wouldn't ya know - I was busy yesterday!!!! Towards the last of my shift things started to slow down, so I put on my headphones and some good music and set out to create.

Remember those crystals I got on vacation? I wrapped one in copper and added amazonite, agate, aventurine and crystals for this success and luck pendant.






Then I used some red brass to frame a green garnet and wrapped it with copper wire and garnets with a fire polished red Czech crystal - Garnets are all about love




Time flew and my work day was over by the time I finished the garnet pendant. Now I have a three day weekend, with beautiful weather! Have a great weekend ya'all!

Octopus's Garden - Re do
