What Did I Make?

After catching up with hours of extra sleep over the last few days I felt well rested and up for making something today. I have been wanting to make something from Linda Jones book called Creating Wire and Beaded Jewelry for some time now.  With supplies to the ready I started to make the units for the wiggly wire chain.  I had so much fun making this!  I used  pewter coloured Czech fire polished beads as an added point of interest to the design.  The units are work hardened on a steel block with a hammer before being linked together.  A bit tough on the wrist but only light pressure is needed.
I am very happy how my contemporary looking necklace turned out. It seems that silver is very me!

  6. Oh it is lovely, Simone! And it sits really nicely, which I imagine isn't always an easy feature when working on a design like this - very well balanced :) xx
