We're All Ears :: April Reveal

Who doesn't love Spirals?!

I know I do, this Ammonite texture has been at the top of my favorites list for years so when the Earrings Everyday Inspiration for this month came up I knew I had to use some of my new Hollow Ammonite Beads.

I had to resist the urge to put a headpin through the beads which is my favorite way to go, I wanted to add even more spirals, so with a little experimentation I ended up creating a sort of Cross out of the Spiraled Copper wire and topping them with creamy Coppery Green Lampwork Beads by Lara Lutrick.

New Long and Lean

I had a good size special order to fire over the weekend and managed to add some new pieces for my website too.

Winding Road

These Long and Lean pieces are very popular, it's fun to try to find new textures that will work on them. Not easy when they are so long.

Labyrinths revealed, AJE December Component of the Month

This month's Component of the Month is an awesom Labyrinth piece from Jenny Davies Reazor.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish mine, I love the look but it's not mechanically sound yet. I woke up at 3am this morning with an idea of how to do just that so if you have a chance to stop by later today or tomorrow I hope to have a much improved piece.

 

 

I'm going to make more wire tubes to connect the focal to the wire and make it more mechanically sound, I'll improve on the connection of the smaller wire spiral to the larger one as well and add another set to finish the bracelet.

 

I decided to post the unfinished bracelet because I know we all go through this process, sometimes very frustrating when it doesn't work quite the way we want but we persevere!!!

Here is my first re-vamped connection,
I love the look but let me tell you it's not going together easily!!
Definitely a journey in to the Labyrinth lol!
