TGIF!

Hello everyone….

Where did the week go?  Disappeared again.

I have a little something to show you today…no, no, not my Bead Soup  piece!  You’ll have to wait until tomorrow for that. 

I made a Dreaming in Sepia – style necklace.  My favorite component is the old religious medal for St. Terese of the Child of Jesus.  On the back of the medal, it states “I will spend my heaven doing good upon earth”.    I used sterling silver chain and annealed steel wire for the coil work and clasp.  There are polygon Swarovski crystals in Black Diamond.  Everything you need to know to make your own Dreaming in Sepia necklace is in the brand new book Wire Style 2 by Denise Peck.  You’ll find the full tutorial inside…in fact, I referred to it when I made this version.  I’ll add this to my Etsy shop soon.

I’ll part with a shot of my little helper.  He’s caught up in designing  jewelry as well!

Oh, and please stop by tomorrow for the Bead Soup Blog Party!  You’ll see what I made with these wire links, and there might just be a little give away too!
