I tried something different yesterday and I'm so excited with how this turned out! Then I decided to make it into a pendant/necklace. You can see it HERE.
Late post, I know, but I've been busy making murrini since last night. I've made 5 gathers so far, then I have to cut them all. By hand, no less. It takes a long time to cut up 6 or more feet of cane into tiny little chips. Here are a couple pics, they aren't the best photo's, it's hard to do one handed but you'll get the idea.
Post n run today, I've got a full plate of work to do. But, I finished up my Fiddlehead Fern project I was working on with the copper and sterling. Here are the pics and links. I hope you all have a wonderful day and wish to thank everyone for all the kind comments you leave for me. I sincerely appreciate all of them!
First, my doodle that brought this whole project to my every waking moment the last 4 days. Funny how inspiration works and how it can eat at you you until you get your project completed. The rest of the pics that follow are the completed projects.
So I got some of the new Terra that was released last week. To be quite honest, I've never had a love affair with this glass and that may be because I don't have the time to really play with it. I just don't have the time. I need to be in production mode because that is how I support myself. So I rarely ever take time out to play. But I succumbed and bought a 1/4 pound just because. :-)
Late yesterday I got it out and allowed myself to take the time to try something a little different. And I did water anneal 2 or 3 beads while trying this, lol. I'm quite pleased with how these beads came out but I am not pleased with how they photograph. They are quite lovely beads when looking at them in my hand. The petals of the flowers shimmer and shine with iridescent colors. But try and capture all that glitter with a camera. Impossible. Here they are, I hope you like them...maybe I'll try another color today. Wish me luck, ok?
