Melissa Muir – Week 11
I am so far behind it isn't even funny. I don't know that I will ever get caught up, but I will sure try. Just not all at once. But I do have some things to post now.
This is a pair of earrings that I made for a friend of mine. Actually, I made two different pair and let her choose between the two.
Week 11-Pride and Prejudice-Were there Cowgirls?
I don't think there were Cowgirls in 19th century England, were there? Thus, I am frightfully off topic.
I was in a Cowgirl kinda mood and based this bracelet on a design by Ruth Rae, Deborah Edwards, Kelly Snelling, and Judith Thibaut in A Charming Exchange. The Cowgirl Rules charm was made by peppermintcharms. I cut the copper oval, stamped, texturized, and oxidized it. In an effort to better my skills at jumprings, I made these jumprings along with the coiled links

Week 11 – Pride and Prejudice
I am here againe after long break, oh-oh… I really had very hot time in this cold spring 🙂 Anyway, I love that movie very much and I thought during long time what I want to express after words – conflict, romanse, time period or portraites of my favourite actors. And finally I decided to show my inspiration from wedding bunch which was simple, pure and very tender… I used natural pearl at the center of pin.
Wk 11 – fused fine silver
Fused and hammered fine silver links. The upper and lower links were stretched into ovals before hammmering – the smaller centre links were left as circles.
I will be skipping weeks 12 and 13 (planned – not panicking because I fell behind). My Creativity Journal has this same photo this week.
Week 11 – Amethyst Sage Bracelet
Again I am not on theme, but here is a bracelet that I just completed. It is an amethyst sage cabochon that was cut and polished by my husband, which I have wire wrapped into a bracelet of sterling silver and 14k gold filled wire, with accents of amethyst faceted beads.
spring
I made this spring piece in spring green…. purple for the crocus and crystal for the snow and ice. This is my first piece like this and I am giving it to a friend but Im debating to LOS or not any comments appreciated….. Thanks. Debbie Coller
Week 11 – C-Koop with Copper
I've had these great enamel on copper pieces by C-Koop here for a trunk show and finally found some time to mess around with a few pieces. I coiled copper wire around the tubes and pulled it all together with some hand made links. A touch of LOS to kill the orange and it's done!

Week 11- piercing and sawing
Okay, this one is much nicer in person. I am going to LOS it, but trying to catch up. Two of the rivets turned out badly and the tubing is too small, but what I had.The entire piece is a prototype for a class, but it is too involved, so I am going to drop the front frame and do it with only two pieces instead of three. Need to show piercing and sawing and then the rivets. I am thinking that the student can pick their own design. Oh well, still about two weeks behind. I have made alot of things, but not much that challenged me and that is one of my personal goals this year.
Citrine Cathedral – Shaktipaj
I've been so slack this year online. When you get sick, something has to give. I'm late, and behind, but I really don't wnat to catch up all at once. Here is a 'diddle' – something I worked on during a break from writing a tutorial on another piece. Natural untreated citrine, with a slight cloud on the side. I like the overall thought, but It sits a bit high and doesn't mesh with the sides well. I'll work on it! Comments are always welcome, critiques just make the work better, so feel free!

Week 11 – Copper Fan Pendants – Randi/Dax58
Sooooo….. more corrugated copper!
The one
on the left is all copper – I added a copper wire spiral as a
functional design element (it "hides" the edge of the fan) , and it is
also the bail. It has a basic LOS antiquing patina. The piece on the
right uses the same shape and template, but instead of the heavy hammered spiral, I added a small
lampwork bead with a copper wire spiral to "hold" it tight to the fan. Then I antiqued the copper and gave it a warm red color by flaming it.
