Mother's Day Presents

So, Mother's day has come and gone. And now that there is no danger of my mom stumbling across them to early I can post images of what I made her.

I think they are pretty good for my first attempt at any sort of wire wrapping. They are made with Argentium Silver and Poppy Jasper beads. It was fun to try my hand at something new. I have made jewelry before, but not with wire wrapping. I've done soldering, forging, casting and other such things. I really enjoyed my metalsmithing and jewelry making classes. I think I'd like to pick it up again some day.

I'm sorry for the fuzzy pictures. I couldn't find my tripod at the time, and I wanted to get at least a few pics before I wrapped them up. I probably should have taken a picture of the wrapping. I made a little box out of deep red paper and wrapped it all up in a nice cream colored bow. I might have to bug my mom to let me take some better pictures of them.

Oh, I found the pattern for the earrings at www.wire-sculpture.com. The pendant I just kind of made up as I went.
