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...

Viper Weaves

Viper Basket Bracelet in Anodized Aluminum Viper Basket is a name that is used for the doubled ring version of Orbital Vipera Berus.  It is a very easy, but great looking weave.  It is a 2 in 2 chain with larger rings "orbiting" each set of 2 to make the rings change direction and gives the weave a more intricate look. Viper Basket Bracelet with matching Earrings Vipera Berus is also called Northern Viper by some and is "the third bastard son of mixing European Styles and Hoodoo." Vipera Berus Bracelet in Anodized Aluminum I don't know too much about either of these weaves and I think it's because they are both variations of other weaves.  They are both amazing looking weaves though and lots of fun to do. I have only made one piece out of each of these weaves, so there are unfortunately not too many pictures to show.  I did make a matching pair of Viper Basket Earrings, but I don't know if the Vipera Berus would make good earrings or not....
