I promised you guys some of my own new work, besides the Bead Soup pieces. Well, here I am to deliver....I picked up the new issue of Easy Wire (which, if you don't own it, you should go get it). In that issue, there are a number of pieces by one of my very favorite jewelry artists, Cindy Wimmer. She even had one of her pieces on the cover! I love that wire rose necklace so much that I went ahead and made one for myself!
I also made myself some earrings to go with the necklace.....
There's a bracelet, but I have not finished it to my satisfaction as yet....still experimenting with design ideas using the wire rose pieces. Of course, working with Cindy's ideas sparked all kinds of new ideas for me, which is awesome! I love when that happens!With my necklace, I'm not especially in love with the ribbons, although I loved the ones Cindy used on her necklace. I'm thinking of adding some strung seed beads, or maybe a larger piece of ribbon or something. I also used a copper chain as opposed to a silver one. I do like the contrast between metals, but I just didn't have any silver chain available when the need to make this necklace came over me. :)
Anyway, that's what I have been up to lately! How about you? What's up in your neck of the woods?

love the wire rose pieces you made! I got that issue - it is great
Hey Christine, the necklace came out really nice! It's such a pretty design.
Love it!
You did Cindy proud! I love that design!
I picked this up and drooled over these. You did a stunning job!
I looked at that necklace in the magazine and thought it might be challenging to get the wire to look like roses. I'm convinced that I actually need to buy it now and give it a try! Great job. It looks fantastic. I agree about the ribbon though. I wonder if you'd like a more matte ribbon better.
