Description I made this awhile ago, but finally got around to posting it here. The pendant part is just a half flat glass marble (the kind used in fish tanks and flower vases) with 20 gauge wire wrapped around it, and 28 gauge wire. The pattern was from me playing around with the wire.

I then decided to make a necklace out of it, the two sets of swirls leading to the bit of multi-strand in the design. The way the stringing wire sits with the glass, it turned out better to have it shorter and wear more as a choker. I used light purple Swarovski beads, turquoise rounds, and bugle beads.

Thanks. This one was fun just playing with the wire and seeing what came out.

I love it! The wire wrapping is really unique; almost like lassos! Definitely gotta try that one out.

Thank you. I wrapped the thin wire to bind the thicker wire together before I started wrapping around the marble, if that helps at all. (The longer parts of the thin wire).

Gorgeous work and colours match nicely.. only one of the photos is a bit blurry. I recommend taking more photos and then even sharpen them in a graphic editor, that adds a lot to the presentation.

Thank you, I had fun matching the beads to the marble.

Thanks for the sharpening tip. I'm gradually getting better photographing my jewelry, and playing with paint shop a bit to fix up the photos sounds like a good idea.

Very pretty! And I have that same bead tray too (except mine's covered in cat hair).

Thanks.

Mine gets a fair amount of cat hair as well, some of the photos it doesn't show in as much. That felt-like surface is quite attractive to the cat hair.
