Last week Wire Project



I have this Glass pendant for quite long, I don’t remember exactly. But I remember took it from the "1 gr for 10 cents" bin, at Perlenmarkt. I bought 3 similar pendants, with different colour. One piece already hangs on the chain, and 2 more were still in the drawer, forgotten. :-(

And these weeks lately, were and are busy weeks. I am preparing some jewelry to be sent to Indonesia, am also working on my ebay shop, trying to sell some pieces, although I don’t think that I sell enough.:-( . I am working on my website, trying to finish it before I leave to Indonesia in the next 2 month. And, the most important thing, spending some time with the kids, since the first one is on summer holiday, and we don't have a plan to go out far, because my husband also will be on a business trip this weekend. So, I almost don't have time to go to blogger and blogging...:-(

Ok, back to the necklace. I did forget about the pendant since I could not find the right frame for it, to be use as a pendant. But then I realise, if my pendant depends on the frame, than it would be no different with somebody else's pendant or necklace, it would even be so usual, everybody wear it. And I want it to be different.

Then I took 26G Brass Wire. Wrapped the pendant, around, and around...give more wrapping, adjusting and tightening. I had no idea what it would be, another wrap, and see how it looked, more wrapping and stopped, just when I felt right. No rule.
And then I took the cones, put some swarovski beads, make 2 other simple charms and more wrapping. And string the cones, the pendant and the beads; I use handmade glass beads with foil inside. See how it looked. More tightening and put he clasp. And done!
