The pair on the left were in a satchel of jewelry I won at a local auction back in the '80's. Paid a whole seven dollars for it and wound up with lots of wearable pieces as well as recyclable parts.
The pair on the right are the ones I just finished. Just love the color combination! Had a little trouble with the coiled part as the wire I had was a little heavy for this project. I plan on making more as I just looove them!
I learned something about making jewelry while in grade school. Our school had summer activities that took place on the school grounds. It wasn't until after several years of marriage, and our children were grown that I began creating jewelry in earnest. In 1991 while my husband was in the hospital for a short time he bought me a beaded War Bonnet to hang from my truck rear view mirror. He made the mistake of saying "I bet you could do this". What a Pandora's Box he opened! I began creating these and some Native American Style jewelry, accessories and wall hangings. Sold most of these items as well. I was hooked and the rest is history.
