Pink shell pendant and earrings

As requested by a customer, these earrings and matching pendant were made to go with the pink shell dangle bracelet in the previous post. The pendant is a free form mosaic, organic in design made from copper wire, pink shell, dyed cherry red jade nuggets, and stone beads. The earrings are made with dainty copper chain, two kinds of pink shell beads and red jade. All balled head pins are hand made with torch to create that rosy pink hue.

Helena


Helena is a mosaic pendant, I made from copper wire. The pendant is coiled and weaved and then wrapped with swarovski crystals. The cameo/goddess is a brass button. I am fond of the look of mixed metals.

Archie




Archie is a short name for Archibeadies 
(Archimedes) 

Archimedes of Syracuse (Greek: Ἀρχιμήδης; c. 287 BC – c. 212 BC) was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. Although few details of his life are known, he is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity. Among his advances in physics are the foundations of hydrostatics, statics  and an explanation of the principle of the lever. He is credited with designing innovative machines, including siege engines and the screw pump that bears his name. Modern experiments have tested claims that Archimedes designed machines capable of lifting attacking ships out of the water and setting ships on fire using an array of mirrors.
Funky Archie will hang out with the other owls in my collection. I decided to add wings to this owl. His eyes are wired with red swarovski crystals and black Hematite beads. His body is shaped, hammered and coiled with copper wire. I added yellow/orange dyed Howlite briolettes for his wings. His body has brown seed beads, red and yellow crystals and glass beads.

"Aditi "



Aditi - a Hindu Goddess from India, keeper of the light that illuminates all life and ensures consciousness. She gave birth to the universe and the heavenly bodies. This Piece captures the colors of the sun. It has a bit of an Eastern feel to it, thus the name of a Hindu Goddess.

It is a mosaic pendant made with copper wire and bold Swarovski crystals.
