Well i decided to play with a few more swirly bits today so i made a pendant and earrings to match and then i made another pair of earrings.

Forgive the quality as usual but just for the forums i take the pics on my phone and in very bad light lol

Hope you like them :D

Ooo I do like them Su'... those curly swirly earrings and pendant are so delicate! And you have done really well to coil 2 coils that match each other!! What beads do you have on them?

Those are really nice, Su! The earrings and pendant are lovely - like little vines.

Oh they're nice coils Su. and so well shaped as well. Did you solder the cross coils on the pendant to hold it in place, or wrapped with fine wire??

Ty hun, they are just a couple of black glass beads nothing special as i was just experimenting and didnt want to use onyx, but they actually came out quite well, both are projects in one of my books although i have varied the pendant somewhat from their design, cant wait to det stones in them too as i think that it would look really nice to have little cabuchones in the filigree?

Ty Heather yes they seem quite 'alive' to me :D

Thank you too. The pendent and earrings are all soldered so that they stay in that shape when you wear them, so basically at any place they touch they are soldered to each other lol

The coils were fun trying to match them but seeingg as it was getting quite dark when i did them i am pleased with the results :D

these pics are great, and, more importantly, taken with the other pics of your stuff, you can begin to see a 'look' running through your collection.

This is great, because it means your finding a style, which will be 'you'...and very nice it is too.

The polishing looks great, and shiny, and the pieces are dainty, and pretty.

Everyone on here has there own thing, be it beads or maille etc and your finding your thing too....and i think your rather good at it :)
