This week's Oldies but Goodies Theme Challenge is HOLIDAY COLORS. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali ... pick whatever you like!
Go through your stash and post a picture in this thread that pertains to the theme. It can be something you made yesterday or something you made five years ago. We encourage you to post as many items as you want. Can't make it much simpler.
We hope to see a lot of creative pics of your HOLIDAY COLORS jewelry.
We'd love to have more members participate in this easy, fun challenge. Won't you join us?
The Oldies but Goodies Challenges will last two weeks, so you have enough time to share your items! To make it easier, the end date is in the subject now.
Extended until the 24th!

To me silver is a Christmas color. And this pendent theme is definitely a holiday gift subject. Years back I made about twenty of these in about 6 designs, to include in our church Christmas bazaar. They sold well-all proceeds to support community charities. I just finished this to go to France. An etched and slightly domed silver pendent, 1-1/4”, near 3cm, in diameter. Brad   |

Thank you, Brad!
I always wanted to make more, but my muse just doesn't like plans like that and then I ran out of the green wire.

Nicely done, Brad! And, may I say that I really like the deer that is wearing the pendant! Those are beautiful, Cat. You definitely nailed the holiday colors theme. I used to get colored wire from Michael's (American craft store), but they haven't carried it since the Covid supplie issues started. I'm hoarding what I have left, but I have some green that's yours if you want it. I'll have to check, but I think I have 20g and 26g. Dawn |

Interesting pendant Brad. I thought at first that it was hammered copper.
Cat, all your pieces seem to suit the Christmas theme. I love the round earrings in the center.
Dawn, pretty and unusual jewelry. The earrings with the Turquoise and red beads are my choice today.

Thank you, Irith! Perfect Christmas colors, Irith. I love that first pair of earrings - they look like poinsettias. dawn |

Thank you, Dawn and Irith! Dawn, that's a beautiful "bauble" selection from you. The green crystal pendant would look great on a tree!  Wonderful holiday colors, Irith. You may remember how much I love that last ring, the great contrast, that amazing red, and I always loved drop shapes. Brad, I really like that one, the font and the overall design. |

I like that one too, Brad! Thank you, Cat! Let me know if you want that wire. I checked and I have both 20 (8 yards) and 26g (30 yards) of color coated copper. I don't think I've ever used it as I don't recall making anything in that color. I use the colored wire mostly for spider web earrings and I never made them in dark green. Dawn |

That's very kind of you, Dawn, but you know how expensive postage has become. I'm sure you'll find some use for it.
Once my copper spool is empty, I'm going to order from the UK, anyway. It's the best copper wire I have found so far.
