New Cabochons In The Works!

Here's what I've been working on the last couple of days. Cabs, cabs and more cabs! With more planned in the near future. These are all ground and ready to channel. (except for the one uncut one in the picture) I plan to start channeling these cabs tomorrow.

The cabochons in this first picture are available and I can bear to part with them.

The cabs in the second picture I would really like to keep, but can probably be talked into parting with!

And as for the third and final picture-Hands off!!! These are MINE! ;) Although I can make more of the red and white cabs.

If you are into wire wrapping the channel around the edge can come in handy. Also different styles of wire work may not need the channel, but tend to hide it for the most part. Of course for those setting pretties in silver and gold-who will ever see the channel once it's in the bezel?

In the very back of the last picture you can see a few un-ground cabs. I will get to them tomorrow. I am letting the "ink" outlines set up a bit. I think squares are the hardest shape to do. Keeping them square is a real PITA! The more I have to mark & grind-the smaller they tend to get.

Two More Sets

I have been MIA for the past two days. I spent the night with my aunt on Monday night. She doesn't have a computer let alone Internet access. Tuesday was spent running errands, delivering the Marketplace and is also Girl's Night Out. I had so much to do yesterday I didn't even get a chance to get on-line!

Anyway here are two more finished sets! Please enjoy. The first set has more purple in it than the pictures show. I will start listing tomorrow-or tonight if I don't have class to teach. I will be listing the earrings and pendants/necklaces separately. I will include the set pictures in both listings. If one desires to purchase them as a set I will refund the difference of a set price, $10.00 to $15.00 off the total price.

p.s. These are all still unnamed pieces! Have any hints or suggestions please leave a comment.

Ripples & Unnamed Dichroic Glass Wire Wrapped Jewelry

Wanted to take a quick moment and share the finished pieces from today! Hope you like! The first set I plan to call "Ripples" The color is very mesmerizing and soothing. I have no clue of a name for the gold ones yet. I have all the earrings wrapped and finished from that last batch of cabs. I am still working on the matching pendants though. I have to run, it's late and I still have to pack my toolbag!

Day 12 of AEDM Challenge

Here is my newest piece created for the AEDM challenge. I have named this one Aurora. A rich, multi colored dichroic glass cabochon in bright pink, gold and deep blue with traces of green and purple. I feel I'm definitely improving on this style of wire wrapping and am quite pleased with this one.
