Welcome to my Musings

It is warm enough to work in my shop again!  I finished the necklace that I started long long ago.  I showed the earrings several months ago.  The necklace is copper and I made the beads. The base glass is Effetre/Moretti opal yellow, the frit is Wildwood from Glass Diversions.  They were pressed in a deep lentil press from Cattwalk and are 3/4 inch in diameter.  The copper dangles and links are 10 gauge wire forged and decorated with 22 guage copper wire colils.  I made the jump rings from 18 ga and 14 ga copper wire.  The necklace is 20 inches long.  I am happy with the way it turned out.  I wanted to do something with my lampwork beads that was more than linking them with Bali beads or hanging them on a premade chain.
