I've made quite a few pieces of jewelry in the last few days. After a year of only wire wrapping, I've suddenly begun experimenting with new (to me) ways of stringing beads- with special beading wire, and just today I wove beads on waxed thread and tried my hand at memory wire for the first time. Pics soon!
Speaking of pics, here are a few more of the Swarovski crystal necklaces I made recently. Finally got around to listing them on etsy!
And now, before I sink into blissful oblivion, let me share with you the work of another artist on the Jewelry on Etsy Team, DebrasDivineDesigns:
Don't you love how she sets those gorgeous butterfly wings? You can visit her shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/DebrasDivineDesigns?ref=seller_info I am pleased to announce I won one of her butterfly pendants just yesterday by writing the following hilariousness:
A Beader’s Hands
Twisting, turning, bending, swirling,
Wire up, down, and around.
Hands are cleaning, mind is dreaming
Jewels and crystals yet unfound.
Fingers over keyboard dancing,
Wishing they were somewhere else,
Where colors dance in sunlight, sparkling,
Gem and glass and stone and felt.
Now these hands must help with homework,
Now a dinner to prepare.
Almost time now, to the table-
Resin, silver, beads, beware!
In the throes of beading rapture,
To the JET’s discussion thread.
Admiration, inspiration;
Now to bed, hands, now to bed.
Twisting, turning, bending, swirling,
Wire up, down, and around.
Hands are cleaning, mind is dreaming
Jewels and crystals yet unfound.
Fingers over keyboard dancing,
Wishing they were somewhere else,
Where colors dance in sunlight, sparkling,
Gem and glass and stone and felt.
Now these hands must help with homework,
Now a dinner to prepare.
Almost time now, to the table-
Resin, silver, beads, beware!
In the throes of beading rapture,
To the JET’s discussion thread.
Admiration, inspiration;
Now to bed, hands, now to bed.
And I obey!
