The Pink Lady

I've been experimenting with some new techniques and had a project which I had started and set aside. It seemed a bit overwhelming and like it was going to take me days to progress with it ,so I took a break from it. I picked it back up yesterday and stared at it for a a little while and all of the sudden I was posessed to finish it - today! I finally realized that it was just such an organic technique that the only way I could win was to surrender to it. I had to just let go of all preconceived notions about what the piece should look like and stop tyring to make it happen. I just let the wire go where it wanted to and this was the result.

It's BIG. It's what I call a four fingers pendant. It lays across all four fingers when it's in your hand. That being said, though I personally prefer jewelry that is less... well, shall we say 'bold' I really like this piece. I learned a LOT from making this pendant. It was a fun project once I got over being intimidated by it and just let it happen. Thanks for looking. All feedback is welcomed.

Another Ornate Pendant: Desert Dreams

Earthy Elegance Ala-Eni! I ADORE this piece. I'm very tempted to keep it for myself - again! LOL The last one that tempted me sold before I could convince myself that I was allowed to keep one once in a while for myself.

This pendant was made with warm toned Moukaite and embellished with brandy colored tourmoline stones. Click to enlarge to show detail.

A few pretties I've not posted yet

Back to the ornate pendants. These are so much fun... yet so labor intensive. I sweat everyone of them every inch of the way. They never seem to be looking right until the final touches are put on and then all of the sudden they come together and BAM! One striking pendant is staring back at you. This picture is not the best, too dark to show off the beautiful blues and greens in the chrysacola stone. It's accented with genuine emerald rondells and brilliant blue chez crystal to give it POP. This one is currently up for sale, but I don't expect it to stay around too long. I might even decide to keep it for myself. ;)
