Here are a few photos of some pieces I have been working on lately. I've always wanted to learn a type of channel setting for stones using wire weave instead of soldering. These are my attempts at that process.
This first piece is a Labradorite with Goldstone Cabachons.

This second piece is a Labradorite with Swavorski Crystals.

I created a couple of videos so you can see the flash on the stones. At the time of this writing all pieces are available for purchase. My webhost is dragging their feet at updating my page so I can't post these for sale. You can however message me directly on this blog or on my facebook page to purchase them.
It has been a while since I shared any of my wire work. I'm extremely pleased how some of my new pieces are turning out. So for this week I thought I would share some photos (and maybe a video or two) from the newest ones.

I'm really in love with these blue labs now. Here's some info I found about Copper/Labradorite on the web.
This labradorite pendant is so impressive and amazing. It is modern and elegant. Blue flashy labradorite is eye-catching in a classy way.
A stone of transformation, Labradorite is a useful companion through change, imparting strength and perseverance. It balances and protects the aura, raises consciousness and grounds spiritual energies. Excellent for strengthening intuition - promoting psychic abilities. Also just plain drop dead gorgeous of a stone!
Copper is said to promote love, sensuality, friendship, positive relationships of any kind, negotiations and peace. Healing work, fertility spells, prosperity spells, and spells to attract love.

Copper is 100% recyclable without loss of quality. There is anecdotal evidence that copper can be used in the treatment of wounds and skin diseases, as well as internal diseases, anemia, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and heart disease. It can also help improve the circulation of blood, increasing energy and detoxifying the body. It is primarily said to benefit the Root and Sacral Chakras, but may also benefit the Heart Chakra.
