New Ancient Things

Just a quick post about a couple of new necklaces I made.  I need to make some samples of jewlery with my new beads so I can wear and display them at the Berks Bead Bazaar.

 

So I couldn't wait another minute to make some jewelry with these trilobite pendants.  I will only have a few at the show, and each one is totally unique. 

 

First I made this one for a display piece.....it will be for sale.  I LOVED how deep and orange the bronze piece got!!!

 

It features a trilobite, a spiral connector and a rolled bronze center drilled stick bead- all will be for sale at Berks.  It also has stick pearls, an antique brass bell, a genuine ammonite fossil, a connector by Starry Road Studio in a great rusty colo, amber and turquoise.

 

 

So, I usually make myself something to wear at the show, and I loved how this first piece turned out so.  So I made one for myself- but a bit chunkier, since that is how I roll.

 

I will probably never take it off.  It has a large trilobite, rolled beads, turquoise donuts, labradorite chunk, ammonite fossil, brass bell, more tuquoise, rutilated quartz, a raku bead, agate, and recycled sari silk mixed with a great strand from Marsha Neal Studio.

 

 

See, it's totally my style!  I love how ancient everything is on them, even though they are new, they feel like they have thousands of years built into them.

 

Now I am off to finish an article and sand and seal some more beads.

 

Happy Friday Everyone!!!
