Tree of Life Pendant

I love making these tree of life pendants.  There are so many different combinations between metal choices and bead choices, each one is totally different than the next and it never gets boring to make them.  Anyone who knows me well, knows that its an important part of creating for me.  I get bored relatively easily and I would never be able to do production work.  I much prefer one of a kind lol.  I have enough ideas in my head to that it would take several lifetimes to make them all.  As always, click on the picture for more info!

Jewelry Piece of the Week August 28th 2010

A pretty polka dotted bead hangs from a chain for a bit of whimsy and color. Rustic hand drawn original art etched onto a copper pendant. The copper pendant and the lampwork bead were made in my home studio. You can find this in my studio on Artfire.

Jewelry Item of the Week July 26th, 2010

This is one of my favorite pendants. I love being able to make most of each piece myself. In this case the lampwork bead is made by me and of course I put the rest of the finding together. This pendant has a lot of depth and has a very cool and serene, earthy feel to it. If you look closely you can see the flowers inside the glass. You can find this pendant in my shop at http://www.silverriverjewelry.artfire.com

Jewelry Piece of the Week July 2nd 2010

This is a new design for me. I wanted to incorporate as many handmade components as I could and this is what I came up with. I cut the heart out of sheet metal and drew the design on then etched the metal. I also made the lampwork bead. I am very happy with the way this turned out and think the general design has many possibilities!
