A Few New Pieces

Here  are a few new piece I've been working on, I'll be posting some of these in my Etsy Shop and Artfire Shop  soon.

 

Adjustable Sterling Silver Ring with a Black Glass Focal Bead, Wire Wrapped with a Wire Weave.

This ring is very comfortable to wear.  

 

DragonFly Double Finger Ring or Knuckle Duster.  The wings of the DragonFly span across two fingers.  The Dragonfly is a beautiful glossy metal and the ring bands are made from Sterling Silver.

 

This darling little necklace is created from 16 gauge Sterling Silver wire with a sterling silver twisted wire embellishment.  The Focal Bead is a Swarovski Crystal in a copper setting. The copper has been sealed.  It is suspended from a sterling silver chain..

 

This ring has been hand formed and fused to resemble a little butterfly with a bent antennae which also serve as the bail for the chain.

My Floating Double Finger Ring

I was watching "One Tree Hill", and Haley was consoling Julien when she reached over and placed her hand over his.  I immediately noticed the ring she was wearing.  My first thought was "How is she keeping that on? So, I rewound, paused, and repeated several times.   I had never seen a ring like this and fell in love with it.  Well, you know me, I had to figure out how to make it, so here is my version of her ring and i love it.  This is the first time I have successfully soldered a piece like this.  Anyway, It stays on just like any other ring.  I have slept in it, washed my hair with it on, everything just to try it out.  I can't believe how many people notice it and ask the same question that I did,
It is made from Argentium Sterling Silver and Swarovski crystals.  What do you think?

Resin Wire Wrapped Domino Ring

 This ring is made from a mini domino and is wirewrapped with Vintaj Wire.  It is an adjustable ring.  My Mom in Law requested this ring and wanted it to be adjustable so it would be easier to take on and off. It is made much the same way as the pendant in a previous post.

Okay, here is my latest piece.  Hope you like it.  We went to the Gem & Jewelry Show this weekend, WOW!! Talk a lot of sparkle, there are so many talented people.  I would have like to have seen more artisans though, and more demonstrations, but, maybe that is not the place for that, but, it sure would have made it even more cool.

The Images I used in this Domino Pendant were created by Beck F.

Hey everyone, I've redesigned my blog so that it should be easier to read and to interact.  I have added a question and answer space, so please let me know what you think or ask me any questions, or better yet, give me your critiques on my stuff, I would really love your feedback.

"Thumbs Rutherford"

Well, Robert is back out of the hospital and back to work, Wonder how many other people out there are Diabetes Type I and not Type II and find out the hard way.  He went into Diabetic Ketoacidosis, uuuggghhh!!  I hate hospitals, but, it seems to be one of my number 1 hangouts. No fun!!  Check him out, they can never get a vein, but, this time he was very dehydrated, so they had to put an iv in each  thumb.  At least he's still smiling!!  (Just call him "Thumbs Rutherford") Have a great day y'all, I know I will!!
