My Entwined Heart Pendant & Peach Leaves Earrings





















So here is the first finished white heart. I named it "My Entwined Heart". I feel that I managed to get some decent pictures of the dichroic design. It took me over six months to finally figure out how to get some pictures that actually showed the white backed dichroic glass with all it colors. In the right light the silvery aqua dichroic on this turns to a rich ultra-violet purple!

The second offering is my "Peach Leaves" earrings. Peach opal glass overlaid with more of those lovely, shimmery silver leaves. I've wrapped these in 14K gold filled wire and hung them from 14K gold filled earwires.

I hope these pretties please!

Red Sweetheart Dichroic Glass Pendant




















Despite all I have had to do today and yet to do, I managed to squeeze enough time to get this pendant finished. I tried yesterday, but my hands just weren't working well enough so I decided to wait and try again today. Here it is, my Red Sweetheart Pendant! Another one of those cabs that I was working on last week all finished in sterling silver. Hope you like!

Heart Of An Angel, Dichroic Glass Wire Wrapped Necklace





















As you can see the new wire woven bail has done wonders for this little dichroic glass heart. I've strung it on this delicate ball gold filled ball chain. The addition of anything else would of detracted from it. I'm rather pleased with myself as even the bail was upcycled. Remember me complaining about the piece I was almost done with before the wire broke? Well I was able to salvage the woven part to make this bail
. This also helped me to understand how to go about making more bails like this. I know it isn't a key, but don't we have to have some hearts for those keys? I settled on "Heart Of An Angel" for the name and listed it in my Artfire studio.

I am sharing a picture of the cabs I will be using in my next project. I will be wrapping them in 14K gold filled wire and turning them into little keys. Now I am just debating on how fancy I'm going to make these.
