Melissa Muir – Week 16
This bracelet is a big deal for me since I don't use beads. But one of the shops I teach at has been begging me to add more beads to the pieces, so this one is as beaded up as I could possibly make it and still have it look nice. 😉
They like it, let's just hope the students do too.
The frame is 3 pieces of 16 gauge wire that is wrapped together in different places with 18 ga 1/2 round wire and then the beads are stitched on with 26 gauge sterling wire.
Cork Screw Earrings – Week 16
These earrings were actually created on a cork and they screw in like a…well….corkscrew. This is not my original design. I saw a woman wearing them and asked her to remove them so I could get a closer look. I figured out a way to make them by drilling a hole in a cork, inserting 2 lengths of wire down the center and wrapping the the rest in a spiral down the outside of the cork. After pulling the wire out of the cork, I attached white matt glass to the "pin". Voila!
Week 16-An Affair to Remember-Love and Pearls
OK, I'm going to admit this…..An Affair to Remember with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr is my all-time favorite movie. I know it's corny but I'm a romantic at heart. This is a tear jerker but has a happy ending!!!
I call this week's submission my Love ID bracelet. It's based on a design by Ruth Rae, Lou McCulloch, and Catherine Witherell from A Charming Exchange (I just love this book). It has pearls and lampwork beads along with a brass sheet metal that I sawed and stamped with XOXOX's. Added some dangles and
charms for good measure.

An Affair to Remember
This movie kept me impressed so long time and I always had a hope to make something in honore of this magical love story. Ring – because this is symbol of unity between people, Moebius band shape – because it could be other perspective (but in same reality it is impossible), black crystalls – because you understand it.
Week 16 – An Affair to Remember
I've been so busy trying to make up inventory for the next shows that I forget to post my pieces here. I especially don't like posting when I don't have a piece that matches the theme. This labradorite pendant seems to me to fit this theme so I've decided to post it. This labradorite is one of the stones I was lucky to find in AZ this past winter, it has lots of blue flash and I added a 8mm freshwater pearl for an accent.
Week 16 – fused fine silver earrings
I have done quite a bit of fusing lately using fine silver wire. This is one of a number of pairs of similar earrings I have made. I love how the look changes when I hammer the links.
There will be another photo up on my Creativity Journal shortly.
Kristen Syddall – An Affair to Remember
Hi again,
Not a great start as I'm late for my second week but computer problems turned out worse than expected and I'm still trying to get it sorted.
Thank goodness for the kids pc's!
Now all I could think of for Affair to Remember was lots of pearls so although not really related, I decided to make a pearl pendant.
And here tis…
Cheers,
Kristen
Week 16 – An Affair to Remember
An
Affair to Remember has been said to be the most romantic movie of all
time. Being that red is the color of romance, I created this bracelet
using sparkling, faceted deep red rhodolite garnets. I adorned it with
an intricate charm made of sterling silver wire wrapping because love
is not only beautiful, it is complex too.
Week 16 Not on Theme
Week 16 – Haven’t seen the movie…
I don't watch movies much…
This was an idea that floated around for awhile (and you may recognioze the shape of the core wire from the copper blob earrings a couple of weeks back) for a pendant. I really like this, wear it a LOT, and will not be selling it – selfish me!!!
It is 18G FS, 26 & 24G SS and the always wonderful Labradorite!
Thanks for looking and any comments you may have!
Cheers,
Angie Simonsen
