I'm a WIST-etsy member. Last year we had "Christmas in July" gift exchange. When I got Mindy's name, I felt so anxious. What can I make for fellow jeweler?
So, here's what I made. A sprout necklace. It's made from sterling silver wire, balled on both ends and twisted. I used torch to ball both ends of the wire and then pickled and cleaned the wire.
Because her favorite color is blue, I add turquoise for her blue color. That's the tricky part as you can't pickle Turquoise. So, I have to individually hold with my hand for a few minutes. To keep the "fringe" centered, I used the cable tension idea. If you look closely, it's actually two cables that pull each other, so the focal point with always centered.
