August Giveaway

As family and friends have urged, I will host a giveaway.

The item to be the 'prize' will be a custom made necklace with Viking Braid and a wire-wrapped stone.

I do not have a photo of the finished piece, because it will be custom made, but here are some examples of the wrapping and the braid...

The winner will be chosen in a random drawing.  After that, we can discuss stone colors and wire preferences.  (I am drawing by names... since I don't have the patience to check the time stamp on each entry to see when it was submitted...)

A Pendant for Cheryl

One of our customers was in a couple of weeks ago and saw some of the wire wrapped pendants I have done while teaching classes. She didn't want to take the class, she wanted me to wrap it for her.
I know the name of the stone, but it escapes me at the moment. It has gorgeous shades of light teal and lavender. I finished it on Monday and she picked it up yesterday. I was so happy with how it turned out. I know it sounds strange to some, but the stone let me know what it wanted me to do with the wire.


The top photo is of the front of the pendant, and the bottom is the back. I try very hard to make the back as appealing to the eye as the front.
