Featured studio piece 3-7-10

Today I would like to feature a piece I just listed last night. This little wire wrapped cabachon was inspired by my best friend, Amanda. She adores carnelians. Everytime I come across a carnelian in my sotkc, I think of her. She also is drawn to amethyst. She has a LOT of amethyst pieces around and about her wardrobe. Now, if/when she read this I know she's going to disagree with the amethyst thing, insisting she's more drawn to Sodalite (which is another of her favorites). However, I see a lot of purple colored stones in her jewelry drawer and I think subconsiously she's drawn to it. The little bit of garnet in this pendant is my little bit of flair kicking in. I love garnet. It also kind of represents our hair, as we both often have our hair colored red.

This piece is available for sale in my studio on artfire. (http://www.artfire.com/users/divapixie) and comes with an antiqued copper ball chain. Cost is $40.

Snow Day!

Snow days allow me to work on new pieces. I have recently been inspired to do more wire wrapped cabachons by a goo theater friend who ordered a similar piece from me. So, today I have been working on some wire wrapped cabachon pieces. I have also begun to add chain and pearls to the pendant I created earlier this week but have run out of the bright copper chain I was using and have thus been stalled into deciding what to do with the piece next.
