inspired by the garden

playing around with some aluminium wire (12 and 18 gauge)

and a few beads

by the time i was finished it looked like a dragonfly

must have been inspired by all the time i've spent in the garden

i decided to make a few, i like the silver and blue one below

copper pendent

a few weeks ago i visited john bead and bought some copper wire

i usually work with silver but for some reason the copper appealed to me

in one day i made 10 necklaces

above one of the pendents i gave to my friend carmi

who decided to make a kumihimo cord to match (see below)

and then posted it on the john bead blog

now the wheels are turning again!!!!
