Fun with friends

img_5905On Monday I had some friends over for a little lunch and some creativity. It rained in the morning and by noon was  beautiful. We had our lunch outside then headed inside to create.  As you can see they each did a great job and took home some lovely pieces of jewelry. It was still a little cloudy so the pictures could be better but still beautiful jewelry.

I used Labradorite nuggets, Czech glass and two leaves from Every Heart Crafts with a mix of metals.

The Thai silver pendant is on a small strand of leather strung with oxidized Thai silver. Two forged copper stripes,  copper beads, Thai silver beads and sterling silver chain in the body of the necklace with the beads.

I didn’t use any of the Czech glass or the crystals, I just kept going back to a more natural or organic look.
