Howlite nugget

I've had these cool, funky Howlite nuggets in my desk and I finally decided to make them into pendants. They are dyed a nice yellow/orange color. I added a weave and copper coil to the stone. It is accented with crystal bead and hangs from a crystal ring.

Faceless girl

She started out as meaningless shape that sat in my desk with other unfinished projects. One day, I picked it up and saw a face. From there my imagination took over. One of my jewelry friends said she looked like a flapper girl. :) That is exactly what I saw in her. She is coiled with copper wire and is weaved. I want to attach her to a wide piece of black velvet.

Spider web pendant

I found this cool design in one of my jewelry books called Contemporary Copper Jewelry.. Step by Step Techniques and projects. It is a wonderful book and can be found at Barnes n Nobles.  It has great jewelry by great artists. I found one that I've been wanting to try for some time. It's called the Spider weave pendant by ~~ Sharilyn Miller. I used a large Turquoise Howlite bead and copper wire for my piece. I did change the weave a tiny bit. After I finished, I oxidized the pendant to a grayish blue tint. I've been having lots of fun with oxidation but, I will save that for another post. :) The other side of the pendant is captured by spirals.
