My latest pendant I did. Top-drilled Labradorite with some minor imperfections. I need to buff out a few spots and then polish it up. Then I'm going to take pics. I purchased a photo light box and a mini tripod stand for my phone that works with an app and it has a remote button for taking pics so that I won't mess up or get shadows in the shot! I'm also trying to think of some ideas for photo props that I can make. I have wood and paint. My fiance has an assortment of table saws, the corner saws (the little ones for cutting out circle edges and stuff like circle rounds etc. Along with sanders. I want to steer away from using AI and do something that's cohesive with a minimalist, white and wood type look like an oval jewelry dish, etc. I'm actually debating on taking it apart, scraping it and redoing it. All because I don't feel the bail is wide enough for it. I'm on the fence. I do love how my wraps turned out though. Some mighty fine wraps on that bottom most part lol!

Unfortunately I came down with tonsillitis over the weekend, so I’ll be taking this week off to rest, but I wanted to say WELCOME to all of our new members! I’m sorry I haven’t sent welcome messages to you guys yet, but I’ll be catching up on those soon. In the mean time, if you have any questions, feel free to post on the community board or send me a message! 💗

I really want to do some designs where you guys can practice weaving—what do you think of this earring design? Hopefully I can practice and get it filmed this week. I’ve been dealing with some intense anxiety over the past week as my body still adjusts to life postpartum and post-nursing—what a roller coaster it’s been 😅 but this community has helped a lot and seeing everyone interacting has made me so happy ☺️ thank you guys for being here! 💖

Leave me your ideas and suggestions here! 😎 💡 Things you can mention: -Styles of jewelry (whimsical, flowy, sleek, boho, classic, masculine..) -Wire wrapping techniques (basics, wire weaving, encasing stones, coiling wire, creating frames) -Categories of jewelry (pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets, home decor) -Problem solving (let me know something you’re having trouble doing) Feel free to leave photos for inspiration. I encourage you to browse through my IG or site. You can leave other photos that you find online, but keep in mind that I cannot show you guys how to copy someone else’s work, but I can use it for inspiration to explain a general concept or part of their design that is not a signature element of their style 🥰

This is my first piece using square & half round wire and I loved using it.I used a sea glass stone which wasn’t the easiest for the first time due to the uneven shape but I think it’s not bad for my first attempt.😊
