Re: Hand-made jewelery!
That asymmetrical necklace is really, really cool and interesting. I'm also a big fan of all the rings; that kind of wirework intrigues me.

Re: Hand-made jewelery!
Those rings are all so cool. I really love all the twirly wires.
Re: Hand-made jewelery!
Thanks! Almost everyone who's seen that asynnetrical necklace on has said that they really like it. I'm glad, because I tried something really differernt and didn't know if I'd pulled it off, but it looks like I did.
And I love making those rings! They're so fun to make, and all the swirls and filigree really make the rings pop.
Thanks again!

Re: Hand-made jewelery!
Nice wirework! I've never managed to get the hang of it- I guess I haven't tried too hard, because I like my beads, and the smaller the better: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v690/ ... Jan002.jpg
Unfortunately, I fail at taking individual photos of things I have made, and jewellery is hard to photograph. Also, this is your topic and I won't hijack it with pictures of my stuff.
Asymmetry is something I can't do and have never been able to get along with- I think it's very brave to attempt it. I always find it very restless to look at, but then that also means the piece is more dynamic than a symmetrical one would be.

Re: Hand-made jewelery!
Those rings are really cool. Have you ever thought about selling them through http://www.etsy.com It's sort of like ebay for handmade items.

Re: Hand-made jewelry! - New rings!!
I probably will sign up for Etsy and try to sell some stuff there. A few of my firends have mentioned it to me already.
I made seven more rings last night at my monthly bead meetup. Here they are! I've decided to take comissions as well if anyone is interested. At the moment I can only make rings between 5-7 in size since I don't have a mandrel yet - but I'll be getting one soon, especially if I can start selling a bunch of these rings. If you do want one, PM me and we can discuss size, style, color and cost. I'll even throw in free shipping!
More rings!!

Re: Hand-made jewelry!
Those rings are soooo pretty! About how big are the beads in them?
Re: Hand-made jewelry!
I love the pearl one. Is there any way you could put a coin or something next to the beads so we can have perspective? I'd totally buy one if you sold them

Re: Hand-made jewelry!
I've had a few people ask bout the bead size sooo:
The single-bead rings (the pink, red and purple/blue) are quite small and dainty. The beads themselves are only about 4mm in circumfrence, and I have one in the pink that I made for myself to wear, and It looks realy nice on my 'ring' finger - not too big, yet not too small either. The bigger ones (smokey gray/blue, green and blue oval) are about 6-8mm in size. The pearls are 4 mm and the smaller ones are 3mm I think.
Potlover - ask and you shal recieve! Here are pictures that will hopefully help show the size and look of the rings better!

Re: Hand-made jewelry!
Thanks so much, I am still liking that pearl one (I think it's called Baby Blues on deviant art) Unfortunately I wear between an 8 and a 9 so I guess I'll have to wait until you can make rings that size

Re: Hand-made jewelry!
I'd really like to get a mandrel soon - so as soon as I get one, I'll let you know! I should be able to get the same beads to make an identical one
Re: Hand-made jewelry!
