Luscious Caramel, Golden Tan and deep Chocolate Bead on Crisp White Background and chocolate beads spiraling around a white core

I’ve become enamored with the spiral beading technique. As you can see above, you have a core of beads, in this case white, with a different color spiraling around it. I’m not sure why I came to delve into this technique. But I can’t seem to stop.
The bracelet above I made with chocolate-colored beads spiraling around a white core. I put silver findings including a lobster clasp on this bracelet.
If you had an obsession with something, please let me know how you got over it. There really are other things I would like to do.

New arrowhead Pendant and more Fused glass Pendants
Today, just because it was sitting on my wordbench, I wire wrapped an arrowhead. Never done that before. Arrowheads are very fragile, almost like chalk. Obviously I don’t know anything at all about them. It’s about 2 7/8″ long (including the bail) and 1 5/8″ wide. Because it is so delicate looking, I used a very small wire – 24g – to wrap it. Now that it’s done, I’m not sure what I’ll do with it other that have it sitting on my workbench. I’ll show it to my grandchldren, but they’re almost teenagers and won’t be that interested, I’m sure.
Below are 2 fused glass pendants I wrapped today. One is wrapped with Copper wire, and the second has tarnish resistant silver plated wire. The second is pretty smal so again I used 24g wire to wrap it. I don’t like to have the wire hide the beauty of the colors in the glass.

This unusual and beautiful geode pendant is a comfortable, casual and fashionable accessory for your Spring and Summer wardrobe. The color is a deeper lavender-pink around the perimeter of the stone and a light pink almost white on the inside. Another feature of a geode pendant is that it looks the same on both sides. There is no right or wrong side.
When I make a pendant, I always add a larger bail so that you can wear it with any chain or cord you would like. This bail is large enough so that your clasp from your omega chain will fit through it. The pendant would look really well on an omega or a pink leather cord.
Please let me know if you have any comments or questions or would like to learn more about geodes. I think they are really beautiful stones and love how lightweight they are compared to other natural stones. This lightweight quality makes them perfect for Spring and Summer.
Thank you for looking at my jewelry.

Minimalist style, small, pink geode wire wrapped Jewelry Pendant
Pink Geode Pendant Wire Wrapped in Silver Plated Wire (parawire)
I decided to try wrapping a geode in a minimalist style. This geode is a translucent darker pink around the perimeter and an almost white quartz color around the center. The colors are very Spring like and will look great with Spring and Summer tops. The geode measures 1 1/4″ wide and about 2″ long. It a smaller size pendant. It was very easy to do this wrap, and on Pinterest there are many pictures with instructions.
I like to wrap wire around the bail. It gives the bail more stability and makes the bail an important part of the design. I also like to make a large bail. Even the lobster clasp from an omega chain will fit through the bail giving the wearer a lot of options for a chain or cotton or leather cord although I think a pink leather cord would look really well with this geode.
Here are pictures of the front and back of the geode.

This colorful pendant is a ‘best seller’. The colorsare perfect for a Summer day.
The pendant is made using a fused glass technique and glass colors of white, yellow, blue and turquoise. I did a simple wire wrap using non-tarnish copper wire and multiple curlicues at the time. The bail is large, will fit on most chains including omega chains.
I made the fused glass pendant using a technique called a ‘puddle’. I stacked 7 layers of 3mm glass on each other and fused them together. As it fused and spread out, it became a solid piece of glass that looked like a puddle. Once it cooled, I “wacked’ it hard with a hammer, splitting it into many pieces. I then laid the pieces on their side and fused them again to melt the pieces into cabochon shapes. No two are alike.
The wire wrap is a tarnish-resistant copper wire. It has a nylon coating preventing air from tarnishing the wire.
It is also somewhat hyperallergic because of the nylon coating. It definitely won’t tarnish around your skin.
Should the pendant get dirty, just massage it with a drop of blue Dawn, rinse it off and let it air dry or hand dry it. It will be like new.
