It's Finished!!!

This past weekend was deliciously rainy and blustery--real autumn weather.  I hardly stepped foot outside the house and decided to commune with my muse.  Thankfully she came to visit!  I finished the copper and embossed/painted metal piece I was working on.

I made a fine silver, fused chain for the necklace, which took the better part of Saturday.  Using a small torch after preparing the wire is a labor-intensive process and one that I find well worth the effort.  It's always magic when the wire fuses into a perfectly round link.

So here's the "ensemble" I made...




The dangles on the necklace and earrings are olive green, freshwater pearls and a silver and copper/silver bead that is 3-sided.






I thoroughly enjoyed making this set and plan on doing more pieces with the colored, embossed metal...definitely a new look for me!

Let me know what you think.....

Thanks,

Deborah
