Very pretty, Marie! Those earrings are teenie tiny stones - don't think I'll ever do anything that small!
Did you make the cameo, or is it store-bought, or what? It's really nice. If you made it, I'd say that's some totally awesome artistry!

The second set is my favorite, they look super! They are all really nice pieces of work, but that pair with the green stone is outstanding on the wrap. Making a matching set is a real challenge.

Wow, you really mastered the earrings! They are all so beautiful!
The cameo - did it take so long??? One hour is a long time, regarding its beauty.

Oh my, Marie! Those are all just gorgeous! Where did you get the sets of stones that are basically identical in shape and size?? You did really well wrapping them!

These are all "bought" stones (except the last 2). The earrings are 18x13mm or 3/4"x1/2" each. When I ordered all these stones, I didn't pay attention to the size I guess, or maybe the pain killers for my back were making me cross-eyed, anyways, now I have 200 of this size. Remarkably a LOT of them match....hard to believe...but very few are different. The patterns on some are different, but they still are matching enough, no one will really be able to tell. The cameo is a 40x30mm or something like that, as it's already gone...I can't remember. But anyways....wanna know how I get them to pretty much match with the wire?
I do something on one of them...pick up the other one and repeat...go back to the 1st one...etc etc. It takes me about an hour to do one pair...sometimes a little longer. depends on what I do to the wire! LOL
Anyways....THANK YOU ALL I appreciate the niceties! makes my day!!
Hey Tom- I can do a lot of things.....but dont think I could carve that cameo out....that is actually a resin cameo, so not stone...but it was pretty, and 3D.....so wanted to try it out.
Thanks again!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on the sales Marie. That cameo is beautiful and those earrings are great. I just don't know how you get them to look the same as far as the wraps go, geez I can never figure out how I did the wrap in the first place let alone duplicate it. My hats off to you for being able to do that.
Thanks for showing us your latest. Always like to see your work.

Thanks again!!!!!!!!! Marie that is exactly what I do to get matching wraps  looks like you'll be making lots of the earrings! you could do a three stone wrap for a pendant on them too and sell them with the earrings as a set. check my post is "tiny opals" and see my three stone pendant to get what I mean forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=wwp&action=display&thread=37188You do great work! |
