Today....Jewelry

Since I am still working on my kitchen cabinet doors, I thought I would share a peek at my other passion.  It all started a few years ago when I took a metalsmithing class and I was hooked.  Here are pictures(not great ones though) of the last project I completed.  

I made the necklace using black beading thread that I braided and added turquoise and copper bi-colored beads as I went along.  For the pendant I used copper.  I cut out the design using my trusty jewelers saw and then soldered it onto another piece of copper.  I then soldered on my homemade bail, cleaned it, polished it.  It then got sent off as a birthday gift.  


Gotta love creating!
