The finished spiculums

Here are the finished pieces that I did at the spiculum workshop.
The 2 pendants swing on the wire they're attached to. The last one isn't made into anything yet... maybe it'll be a pin eventually.

More Dishes

More dishes from this past Tuesday. I got the formula down for that flowing of color that I've been trying to figure out.... : )


And one more that I still have to set:

Spiculums! (spiculae ... spicula..?)

Heeere they are! The results of day 1 of the workshop:

Beanpod necklace- This was my 1st spiculum. I left the seam open and attempted to set a tiny diamond at the bottom of the opening (see the hole a few mm below?), but went through the metal too far w/ the setting bur. I'll be repairing that one tomorrow...

And here is a bracelet design that I will be making more of in the future. It's easy to do after you get the hang of it, and they're nice & light too. You can add stones to these or whatever.

the flip side.

Here is another spiculum which I'm not sure what to do with yet. I might saw it into 2 and make earrings.

The lower object in this photo is a "blank" which is what we start out with.
