Finished Clouds

As promised, here's the finished cloud necklace. The finished pendant measures 2" across at it's widest point and 2 1/4" long. I've hung it from a 16" sterling silver chain with a handmade swirl clasp. This is one of my favorite pieces so far!

Slightly overcast

This is a work in progress - sterling silver rings soldered together to form a cloud. This is my first "big" soldering project. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out! I'll be working on smoothing out the solder joints and polishing it up. I'll post pics of the finished product as well. I'm playing around with the idea of adding peacock pearls as raindrops. The piece would be titled Slightly Overcast with a Chance of Rain.

My first headpins

I tried making headpins last night for the first time. I'm pretty pleased with the results!

These actually inspired me to create another piece, which I'm still working on. Look for it shortly!

In the works

This is an idea I'm working on. I was inspired by the moon - the 3 faces of it (maiden, mother and crone). Using sterling silver wire, I formed a cresent, waning moon shape. In the curve will rest a pearl (or up to three pearls).

The pendant formed also reminds me of a mother's arm. The pearls can represent her children nestled there.

Look for this to appear shortly in my Etsy shop - http://neccies.etsy.com/

Burn, baby, burn!

I'm patiently (or not so patiently!) awaiting the arrival of new supplies! Supplies to start soldering. I've got my tank ready to go, so look for new things to come out of Neccies soon.
