2 new necklaces

This first piece is wire wrapped Petoskey stone. It is the first cab I ever tried to wire-wrap. That was in March 2019. I was finally successful in September 2019. But I just recently finished the chain. I’ve found while I’m still not great at it, I like making my own chain links. Thanks Dawn!









And after 6 or 7 times, I finally got a beaded bezel on this skeleton cab through the discovery of bead embroidery. Thanks Caroline and Cat!

Wow, you've been busy, Michelle!

Beautiful job the wire wrapped pendant and the chain. I'm so proud of you for sticking with it and not giving up! Those chains are time consuming, but they get easier and faster the more you practice and they do look really cool.

I also love that you darkened the wire; that antiqued look is perfect for the cab and the white stones.

You did a fantastic job on the beaded bezel. I love how it turned out and the resulting choker is fabulous!

Great job on both!

You have done a great job on both of them.

Thanks so much, Irith! Yes, conquered is the right word; I wasn’t about to let it defeat me.
