Tap...Tap Tap....Tap Tap Tap

A long snowstorm has me happily housebound and working away...I'm catching up on the "Of Towers and Turrets" class I took in the fall and was unable to finish as I would have liked, as well as "The Build Zone". I've got the sort of projects everywhere that I adore, and it's all good!

The buttons for both of these wonderful places are in my right side bar if you are so inclined to visit.  I think there is another Tower class getting ready to start if it hasn't already.



These are very cool wire wrapped links, using antique textiles.  Part of my Build Zone Class, but Deryn sells this tutorial via her Etsy shop as well.  The possibilities with these are endless.  I've got palettes with old silk and depression glass beads lined up...







I put these earrings together with twisted wire rings I just learned how to make.  The drops are vintage half drilled Czech glass and old filigree.

I took a few pictures of these pendants...this is pre eyelet stage...
The egg is just my first attempt at putting a bezel around a stone without blowing everything to bits.  That's another story for a different day.

Eyelets and rivets....



I am really liking this cathedral window shape.  I found some bits of very fancy bezel wire and set an antique faceted saphiret stone.  Boy howdy, I wish I had more of those.

An experiment in layering metals.  I love all these colors.

Theoretically, my resin will flow nicely beneath the old lamp brass filigree.  I have plans for this one and am calling it "Widow's Walk".

So!  I am off to plan my little reliquary vignettes, clean these pieces and start thinking about resin. 

Until next time,

Blessings!
