The Bird


x
This may be my favorite designs of all time. I have made it countless time. The design is simple. It is a dove made of hammered metal. Nothing else. Hang it on a black cord or a silver chain and you are good to go. Yes it's simple but I think that is what makes it beautiful. This is also one of my older designs. In Sophmore year my friend and I came up with it together to fit her description of what kind of necklace she wanted. I owe to it her. I would never have drawn up the design if she hadn't asked for a bird!

A Stained Glass Piece




x
So this is a new design that I came up with yesterday. It is taking the basic principle of one of my earring designs and altering it to incorporate stained glass since my mom has a ton of it in her basement. The outside is hammered metal and I wrapped the piece in silver plated wire. The necklace is pretty big but if you wear it with a plain shirt it looks pretty decent. This is the first necklace in hopefully a series so there will be more pictures to come!
