gnarly gnecklace Thursday, July 5, 2007 |
Made with 1mm sterling round wire that I wrapped in a ball then flamed until it reached the desired effect. I then set a sweet n lustrous 5 mm round freshwater pearl in the cavity of the tumble weed like ball. Like all my pieces, no two are alike. More so with this piece because of the nature of fluid metal. I've made more of these tumbleweed balls without the pearl. This one is pictured with a gold chain but can be strung on any other chain. Now that I think about it, silk ribbon would be fab.
