Learning New Stuff

Morning

This week I wanted to experiment with things I haven’t done before and stuff I haven’t used.

The first idea was to make a pendent which looks like peas in a pod.  I have seen this done a few times before and wanted to give it a go. It only took a couple of tries to get the result I was looking for and I am so happy with the results.

The second project was to wrap a cabochon using pre made gallery wire.  This is fancy cut flat wire which is used to wrap around the edge of the stone for an interesting finish.  I chose a Bumble Bee jasper because I love the layers of colour and they are not very well known.  I think it looks great but, having used the gallery wire, I now believe I could make a better finish next time.

I hope you enjoy these pieces and are enjoying your makes as we move ever closer to Christmas.
