Chicken Art to Share

Success!

I sold my first fabricated pieces of jewelry!!
That makes what I'm learning in my jewelry classes even more amazing! Someone likes my stuff! :)

Wire Working Class

Last weekend I took a wire working class and learned all sorts of great techniques that I can apply to my craft!
This is the sampler of all the different things we learned. We each made one and the teacher even gave us some of the Lampwork beads she makes.

Twice Set Stone

Some pieces just end up being such a learning piece! This is one of them.
I ended up setting it twice because I didn't like the first bail at all. Well, in removing the stone ( lesson in removing a stone) I cracked the bezel!
So I ended up filing and shaping the bezel and put a better suited bail on it, flipped the stone over and presto!
A Jade Pendant!
Well, I still need to polish up though. I like it. I think I'll keep it!
( the other items are hollow formed teardrop earrings)

Ideas in the making....
