Sea Glass
I do not have any silver sea glass wrapped pendants left so need to make some more. The silver is very popular due to the nice shine. I also love copper work but find silver plated/silver wire is much more popular.
I still have pics of my silver pendants on this blog and will make similar ones,although no two are the same.
Beach combing today I got lots of very small pieces and did not find any big pendant size pieces the right shape.Which shows how precious sea glass is. I plan to make some delicate pendants with bead detail and will use my previous stash to make some larger size pendants too.

Glass bead pendants
I also got these lovely glass beads in a curio shop. I love the back of the red and blue one and need to decide whether to go for a full wire wrap,or a simple but pretty wire wrapped bail.So watch this space.
I also love the black and white artdeco glass bead which will evolve soon.
Tree Of Life Pendants
I find it great fun making these little tree pendants which I complete in different sizes with different gemstones,style and wire, What do you think of this lot I have made for a stall at The childrens Wood gala next week?
Week Three silversmith class-Riveting and LOS
I had one hour to make this pendant at class which was not long enough. I work slowly in a relaxed but engrossed manner. This pendant involved sawing, applying patina (LOS),drilling,filing (lots),soldering silver to make the head pin, hammering the pin into a nail,to cold connect the pieces together .riveting. I have some silver at home so I intend to take my time sawing out little shapes to drill and rivet at next class.So I might get better.
