I am still getting used to trying out new techniques. I have so much to learn.

This first piece is a necklace that I was asked to make for a family member. I think it turned out rather pretty. The stones show up more green than they really are. They are a tad more pastel than what the picture shows. I didn't come up with the design, it is based off of a picture.

It is made with Fresh Water Pearls and faceted glass.



This next piece is an angel for my friend Candace. The picture isn't very good, but the angel is just down right pretty. She is made with a Fluorite bead and sterling silver.



This next one is my very first attempt at Reticulation, a process used to texture silver. It was a lot of fun and I will try this again. I got a little carried away and you can see that I began to melt the silver. It still has a pretty cool effect.


This last one didn't turn out how I wanted it to at all. The silver has a disc shaped cut out of it. The copper dome actually sits through the disc shape, it is pretty cool. The silver dome can also be seen from behind in a hole in the copper. The bail has been attached with silver wire rivets.



As always, Comments and suggestions are welcome.
