Week 5-Solar Quartz and Copper Necklace




This isn't the project that I was working on for this week. I had prong set a beautiful stalactite slice and had a vague vision of what I wanted to hang it from. So I got out the copper wire to play around and instead found myself channelling Gosia Domanska and Mary Tucker and bending little leaves in the wire. It wasn't what I had in mind for my stalactite slice so I added some green tourmaline and vessuvianite beads, and hung a cool solar quartz pear briolette from it. I'm not sure about the addition of the keishi pearls but I felt like it needed something to echo the white.

    I can't draw. I do a lot of visualizing which in turn means a lot of tearing out (I work with seed beads mostly.) I know that things often turn out different than what we envision when we start. This is amazing. I love it.
