YOJ09-45 Marquise Series: Bracelet 2 – Dianne Karg Baron

Dsc00107 Marquise Series:  Bracelet 2
Sterling silver, fine silver
Constructed, cold-joined
L 19.5 cm x W 1.4 cm

The next step in developing the Marquise Series was to add some form
of embellishment, like a spiral.  To give this bracelet a bit of visual
interest, I decided to alternate the links in mirror image.  They
remind me of fish, and a bit like the stylized birds from the Partridge Family tv show.

I debated about using solder to join the spiral to the frame, and
then decided that I wouldn’t save enough time doing that to make any
difference in price of the finished piece.

See more of the series on my blog, a wrapturous blog.  Comments are always welcome!  Thanks for looking!

Week 45-Woven Copper Bangle

Copper woven lentil  I was playing around with some copper the other day and this was the result.  I wanted to see if this was something I could reasonably do in silver.  It's just shy of 1 1/2" tall so it's pretty bold.  I like it but I kind of wish I had used a different bead in it.  C&C welcome.  Thanks for looking.

Let It Snow

IMG_1776

This is due to my muse's whimsy, she flashed an adorned snowflake in my mind's eye. After creating the frame, I added to the snowflake with basket weaving. Adorning the center is aquamarine, sterling silver and one pearl. Dripping from the bottom are white topaz brios.

Thank you,

Deborah aka Sneekbead
