Updates!

I am so sorry I have forgotten to update you all for so long! I got caught up in the holidays and a few projects.  There will be a big announcement coming soon!!! Until then, here are some of the things I have been working on!

Solar Flare Pendant in Bright and Anodized Aluminum
First the Solar Flare Pendant courtesy of HyperLynks.  This one is done in squared wire rings instead of the traditional round wire which gives it a totally different, unique look. It would look amazing in any color combination but is pictured in black, silver, and pink.

Next, in blue and silver is a bracelet called Flight of the Bumblebee. It is a variation of Byzantine, connected differently and in varying sizes to give it a sort-of wave effect.








The next piece is the Rainbow Fleur Pendant.  It is made with rainbow hematite that gives it absolutely stunning colors. Pictures cannot do this pendant proper justice. Colors change from all angles and even on the opposite sides of the pendant, it is like a whole new piece!

In red, we have the Trellis Necklace. This was created with micro scales and stainless steel rings. The scales are tiny! They are smaller than my thumbnail but beautiful and super shiny! This is an amazing statement piece, but not a really huge one.  If you're looking to make a small statement and not so much of a "shout out to the world" statement ;) this might be just the necklace for you! The scales are available in multiple colors so let me know!

Last for this update is the Flares Bracelet and Earrings to match! It is a beautiful design by Genny Smith. It is actually reversible (as pictured in the first shot), and can be colorful or completely solid depending on the type of look you're going for. As pictured it has a crystal in the center (optional) and is done in three colors with silver accents. It is definitely an eye-catching piece and is lots of fun to wear, especially if you like flowers :)

Jens Pind Linkage

Jens Pind Linkage, also known as JPL is generally considered a variation of the Spiral Weave, but it is tight enough that it doesn't unwind when unclasped.  It looks a bit like a rope so it works for just about anything!  I cannot find anything that explains the name, but I suppose it has something to do with either the technique or the creator of the weave since most I've come across usually do.  The JPL chain looks pretty and simple, but it requires very precise placement of each ring so that they maintain a consistent angle of overlap to hold the shape.  It is much easier to see when it is done in multiple colors but also looks lovely in a single color.  It is so versatile and can be done in so many styles (usually called JPL3, JPL5, etc.) for distinctly different looks.  I have only so far completed the JPL3 version in bright aluminum (single color) and anodized aluminum (three colors).   JPL3 in Bright Aluminum JPL3 in Anodized Aluminum

New Captures

Pixie Snowflake The first of the new captures is called Pixie Snowflake.  It features a Swarovski Crystal Rivoli in Sapphire.  It is a gorgeous design from Dawdling Dragons.  This one is the pendant size, but it can also be made in earring size.   The second is called Crystal Cascade. This one, in particular, is made with rainbow hematite beads and a Swarovski Crystal Rivoli in the color called Vitrail Medium.  It is a stunning piece and, while a little big for any pendant I personally would wear, it is an amazing statement piece or even an ornament if you choose. Crystal Cascade Pendant The next is a collection of captures done in aluminum and rubber and connected with Byzantine units to support the weight and give the piece some stability.  It is the Galaxy Necklace and features Swarovski Crystal Rivolis in Emerald.
