Fresh Baked

Hi, Mary. There are other ways to get the oxidized look without the smell of LOS stinking up your house. Silver Black is one product that I know of and another is a more ‘natural’ method using hot hard boiled eggs (the sulphur fumes do the work here). Here one link that explains this home remedy.

FYI…I decided to host a little give away of a wire wrapped briolette necklace on my blog site. Closes May 29th.

Thanks, ladies! If you do give the tutorial a try out and have a minute for some feedback, I’d be grateful.

Love the new shapes, Nancy. This gift will be keeping you busy for quite awhile!

There is a lot going on in this pendant and it’s all good fun! Love it!

Love the simplicity of the design. It really lets the wire wrapped beach glass take the spotlight!

I’m amazed at your skill in this technique and with color! Just lovely.

A beautiful piece, Deb. The tassel is a perfect addition!

Fun, indeed! I bet your friend will fall in love with them!

Love, love these discs! And the design is a perfect way to show them off!

Our hands are our best tools, right! Broken and stained nails are a ‘badge of courage’ ! Your wire wrapping is a wonderful compliment to these large blue stones and I love their color with the copper!

I like this design…like a lovely stroll down the garden path. Really like the little
triad groups knotted into the design too!
