My Labor Day Weekend Project
I made cages! Tiny cages! While practicing some of the steel wire techniques I learned from Keith Lo Bue’s http://www.lobue-art.com/ online class, I realized that my collection of tumbled stones just might be the start of a new line of jewelry…..Caged Stones! So here is my first necklace. Watch for the new series on my Etsy store www.etsy.com/shop/lindabrittdesign First I made spirals and turned them into tiny cages. Then I made ‘s’ links and jump rings and combined everything. I brushed and buffed them, waxed them and inserted the dyed turquoise. I need more practice to really control the consistency but I like the first piece!
