Description

Another one made just because. The main part of the frame is a 6ga copper wire I hammered and shaped. That part was intended to be used for another stone, but I could never get it to feel right with it, so it was set off to the side. While playing around with a heart shaped Tiger Eye, I realized it fit nicely over the frame and then things just went from there. 2 pieces of copper wire, a couple of copper beads including a stardust, and a couple of faceted Carnelian beads as well. The water drops on the stone are because I really wanted to shoot this outdoors and it was starting to rain.


Sold


EDIT: Thanks so much for the feature! It's extremely encouraging!

Congrats on the DD !Β 
This piece is lovely, and looks like it can be worn as a necklace, bracelet, or brooch !

Out of curiosity, was the 6 gauge wire difficult to bend? I haven’t gone below 16 gauge wire before, and my impression is that 12-14 gauge is the limit of what can be bent by hand.Β

Thank you! Β  I have fairly strong hands, so I'm able to do the bend for this piece by hand. I did use a dowel to control where the bend occurred. I have a suncatcher I'm working on with more difficult bends and weaves that I've set aside till I can figure out a tool to assist. I think 10ga is probably my limit for just freely bending/weaving wire, at least for now. I'm not getting any younger!

You're welcome. Do you take commissions? (Not that I'd ask for one now, because I am saving a little bit of money, but in maybe a month.)


Also...people still do llamas? That's a thing? The moreΒ  you knowwwww~

a-kid-at-heart In reply to BlissfullySarcastic [2019-04-25 02:42:34 +0000 UTC]

I guess I'm getting confident enough to be willing to do commissions (yeah, that sounded confident ). I don't really know how to go about it. Like selling online, I have an Etsy account but no idea how to use it, nor what I should do regarding payments, policies, etc. Β I like making things. So far, people around me have been willing to buy some of them and in a couple cases request something. Most encourage me to create an online presence. The other thing is time. I can't quit my day job and that eats up about 10 to 12 hours of it. If I agree to make something for people, they know it might take a while. I tell myself "when I have about 20 to 30 pieces" I'll post them online somehow, but people keep buying them! Not all bad I guess! Okay I'm just going on and on now...

I get about 5 or 6 llamas a week and try to return them when I think about it. In your case, I just assumed I would have done that a loooong time ago!

You're confident enough, at least.


Maybe next month, I'll convince my fiance I need something from you for my birthday, and he'll buy it. Or not and I'll grab something. Shhh.
